Study and Review of Shear Deformation Theories for Analysis of Deep Beams

This work explores shear deformation theories related to beams in detail and provides a careful analytical evaluation. There are various theories related to the Deformation in Shear action that are painstakingly traced throughout the review in detail. Every hypothesis is systematically assessed, taking into account both its advantages and disadvantages. The study thoroughly examines the results generated by each theory and explores the general approaches to solving problems that result from their use. The evaluation also offers a thorough overview and recommendations for further lines of inquiry. The primary goals of this review are to encourage the continued application of higher-order theories in deep beam behavior prediction and to further our understanding of their development.
