Figure 9: Load-deflection curve for beams with same layers of beam section and different A s .

The failure modes of these beams are shown in Fig. 10. All beams with average steel reinforcement failed due to shear. Unlike the beams with average steel, the beams with a minimum steel showed a pronounced deflection after yielding up to failure.
