The current American Concrete Institute (ACI), Canadian Standard Associate (CSA) and CEB-FIP code suggest that deep beams should be designed using the strut-and-tie model approach. This paper investigates the validity of the current ACI, CSA and CEB-FIP code provisions on the shear strength of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams by comparing them with the shear strength equations proposed by Hong et al. (2002) The comparison shows that all of these code provisions provide reasonable estimates on the shear strength of concrete deep beam members and the ACI and CEB-FIP codes results in similar estimates while the CSA code relatively underestimate the strength.
