 note = {The impact of constructing non-structural walls with structural gaps in RC beams was not highlighted enough previously, although its importance. Experimentally, it was found that shear failure occurred in these beams even they were designed to fail in flexural manner. Six specimens were designed with specific parameters; shear margin, increasing shear reinforcement and the influence of slab. The experimental results showed that increasing of shear reinforcement and the presence of slab improved the seismic performance of the beams; large deformation capacity and flexural failure. Comparing with other beams where shear failure occurred, as well fracture of stirrups was remarked. To calculate the amount of shear reinforcement for safe design, strut-and-tie model was proposed. FEA was done as a necessary step to build the strut-and-tie model. Three main beams without slab were modeled. The numerical results corresponded with the experimental and analytical results. The proposed model is expected to be helpful to the designer, especially for checking the shear reinforcement at plastic hinge regions of studied beams. In addition, the proposed model is very flexible to be used for wide range of RC beams with non-structural walls.},
