This paper presents laboratory test results of 12 deep beams in which the longitudinal reinforcement was anchored into the support using short straight bar anchorages. Specimens were constructed using three different shear span-depth ratios (a/d). Differences in general and local behavior in the anchorage region are highlighted between groups of beams. The test results show that shorter anchorage lengths than required by ACI 318-05, Chapter 12, are effective in developing the yield stress of bars at the end of the extended nodal zone. This result is consistent with shorter anchorage length required by bars embedded in concrete regions subjected to lateral confining pressure. In cases where ...
