5.2 Review of current knowledge
Considerable literature is available on the elastic behaviour of ordinary (not
flanged) deep beams (Albritton, 1965: Cement and Concrete Association (C &
CA), 1969). Dischinger (1932) used trignonometric series to determine the
stresses in continuous deep girders. Uhlmann (1952) and Chow et al. (1953)
used finite-difference equations to solve simple-span deep beams. Cheng and
Pei (1954) contributed much to the theory of deep beams by solving the case
in which no displacement was permitted at the supports. Kaar (1957) reported
on tests made on models of simply supported deep beams. Förster and
Stegbauer (1974) and Robins and Kong (1973) have applied the finite element
