Abstract : Sixteen high-strength plain concrete deep beams were tested under pure torsion. The variables were the span/depth and the depth/width ratios. Concrete strength of about 67 MPa (9700 psi), span/depth ratios varying from 1 to 4 and depth/width ratios ranging from 2 to 5 were used. Test results showed that high-strength plain concrete deep beams under torsion failed suddenly and violently along a smooth surface, and the inclinations of the failure surfaces were influenced by both span/depth and depth/width ratios. The torsional capacity gradually increased as the span/depth ratio decreased from 3 to 1. The increase of span/depth or depth/width ratio reduced the beam stiffness and increased the angle of twist and the energy absorbed. The torsional strength of the test beams were also predicted using some of the theoretical equations available in the literature and were compared with the experimental values.
