Figure 2.28 Correlation of predicted load-carrying capacity of RC deep beams under single-point
loading and uniformly distributed loading with experimental values reported by Ramakrishnan and
Ananthanarayana (1968).
2.6.3.1 Simply supported deep beams Figure 2.27 indicates a sufficiently
close correlation for practical purposes between predicted and experimental
values for the case of deep beams subjected to two-point loading. The slight
overestimate of load-carrying capacity in certain cases is due to the larger
variability of the results obtained for the beams without web reinforcement.
Placing nominal web reinforcement considerably reduces the variability and
