This study aims to investigate a new shear reinforcement method which utilizes thin mild steel (TMS) plates as shear reinforcement in deep beams to replace conventional reinforcement. Thirteen reinforced concrete deep beam specimens with three different plate thicknesses and four varying perforated...
