Abstract

Deep beams with large openings require innovative approaches to maintain strength and performance. To minimize the detrimental impacts of wide holes in reinforced concrete deep beams, effective reinforcing pro-cedures are essential. This paper presents a study on the use of metal plates for strengthening reinforced concrete deep beams with large openings. The Finite element modelling (FEM) software Abaqus is used to study the im-pact of various metal plate orientations on the structural behaviour and load-carrying capacity of the deep beams. The research includes an extensive sensitivity analysis and model calibration of the original model against exper-imental results, as well as four different examples of applying a load of 500 kN after validating the original beam against experimental results. The study found that case 3 exhibits the smallest deflection and have large load car-rying capacity, indicating its superior performance in minimizing deflection. However, case 4 is a more affordable choice due to the high cost of the metal plates used in case 3’s design. Different grades of concrete were utilized on the same model after case 4 was chosen as the final one to examine the impact of concrete strength and deter-mine which was most cost-effective. Based on cost-effectiveness and performance, the proposed model has the ability to carry more load with less deflection, encouraging the development of practical and secure structural so-lutions.
