As per IS 456:2000, deep beams can be defined as the structures that having span to depth ratio less than 2 for a
simply supported beam and 2.5 for a continuous beam. Also these members are loaded on one face and supported on the
opposite face. Uses of curved deep beams are increasing in structures like rounded corners of buildings, circular balconies,
water tanks etc. Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is a concrete with short, discrete lengths of steel fibers which are
randomly dispersed. The load deformation behavior of curved deep beam of different curvatures gives an idea about the effect of
curvature on the performance of curved deep beam.
