Generally, headed reinforcement offers several advantages over straight bar or hooked bar anchorages to develop reinforcement in concrete members. The purpose of this study is to investigate the shear behaviors of reinforced concrete deep beam with headed reinforcement. Five deep beam specimens are designed to study the anchorage capacity of headed reinforcement as well as the contribution of H-bar and V-bar to the shear. Two anchorage types, standard 90-degree anchorage and headed reinforcement, are considered in design.
From the tests, it is shown that In the test results, headed reinforcement is able to replace standard 90-degree anchorage as the anchorage method. The evaluation on the contribution of H-bar and V-bar in current design code for deep beam shows that the former is overestimated 75% and the latter is overestimated 17%.
