Abstract

This paper focuses on the laboratory test undertaken on HSC deep beams with various opening sizes and locations on the web. These tests cover an area where limit scope of previous research. Apart from highlighting the experimental setup, failure loads, and typical crack patterns of the test specimens are also re- ported. Experimental results are then compared with predicted estimation by existing design methods. The comparison indicates that the predictions are overestimated on the ultimate strength of the beams and the re- duction of the ultimate strength due to web openings did not considered sufficiently.
