Deep beam is a structural member whose behavior is dominated by shear deformation. The exact analysis of deep beam is complex and the presence of longitudinal hole aggravates the situation. This paper presents numerical studies carried out to determine the most suitable position of longitudinal hole in a deep reinforced concrete beam. In order to investigate the effect of longitudinal hole in RC deep beams, a deep beam with dimension 1000*200*450mm (L*B*D) was modelled and analysed under uniform loading and simply supported conditions. The same beam was then analysed by varying the position of circular longitudinal opening. Analysis was carried out using ANSYS software. From the analysis, load deflection characteristics of hollow deep beams were obtained and compared with solid RC deep beam. The results showed that the deep beams with longitudinal opening had undergone more deformation when compared with solid deep beam. The optimum position of longitudinal circular opening in deep beams had also been obtained from the analysis.
