Abstract
A finite element formulation for flexure of deep beams based on a recent refined theory is developed. The refined theory incorporates effects of transverse shear, transverse normal stress and transverse normal strain. The Galerkin finite element method was used to develop the finite element equations for both beam bending and in-plane problems. The performance of the proposed finite element model was evaluated by solving problems of uniformly loaded deep beams with different support conditions. The results of the present formulation are compared with closed form and elasticity solutions whenever they exist.
