A model for determining the shear strength of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams is proposed in this study. In this model, it is assumed that the shear strength of dapped-end beams is provided by the strut-and-tie mechanism and the transverse reinforcement as well. In this study, test results of 130 specimens available in the literature are compared with the results predicted separately by the proposed model, the approach of PCI Designed Handbook, the simplified softened strut-and-tie model, and the strut-and-tie model of ACI 318-08. The comparisons show that the proposed model can more easily and reasonably predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams, and then a design formula is proposed.
