Effect Of Aspect Ratio On Torsional Capacity Of High-Strength Plain Concrete Deep Beams by Samman, Tamim A.

“…Test results show that by increasing the concrete strength or by reducing the aspect ratio, the torsional capacity and the beam stiffness increases while the angle of twist decreases. A modification has been suggested to the strength equation of the ACI Code 318-89 for normal-strength concrete shallow beams under torsion to include the effect of high-strength concrete for deep beams. …”
