Spring network models are being developed to facilitate the analysis and design of structural concrete cpmponents and systems. Concrete is srepresented by rigid particles which are inter-connected by elastic springs. Reinforcement is modeld discritely and can be positioned in the structural model irrespectively of the local geometrical features of the network. This study is on the analysis of concrete deep beam with web opening by RBSN. The results of analysis and test are compared. The Shear strength, load-displacement relationship, cracking patern, stress and effectiveness of the web reinforcements are analysed. The RBSN is verified to be used in analysis of the deep beam with web opening.
