The effect of the shear reinforcement of stirrups in deep beams has not satisfactorily been clarified yet. When the shear strength of deep beams was calculated, therefore the effect of stirrups was not considered in the design of RC structures in the past. In this research, a model load test of deep beams with stirrups was performed to examine their shear strength. As a result, it was clarified that the effect of the shear reinforcement was influenced by the shear span and shear reinforcement ratios. In addition, a method of evaluating the shear strength of deep beams with stirrups was proposed based on the results of experiments.
