Twenty-two reinforced concrete continuous deep beams with openings and two companion solid deep beams were tested to failure. The main variables investigated were the configuration of web reinforcement around openings, location of openings, and shear span-to-overall depth ratio. Web openings were located in either exterior or interior shear spans and the shear span-to-overall depth ratio was selected to be 0.6 and 1.0. The development of diagonal crack width and load capacity of beams having openings within exterior shear spans were insensitive to the configuration of web reinforcement. For beams having openings within interior shear spans, however, inclined web reinforcement was the most ...
