The purpose of this research is to analyse the available design equations and present the applicability of these equations for their use in the design of beams made of higher concrete strengths. In the present program concrete having compressive strength of 50MPa or more is considered as high strength concrete. Analytical investigation on HSC beams is made under four different aspects namely flexure, ductility, deflection and shear.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a multiple-composite material developed during the early 1970s. In SFRC, short steel fibers are randomly distributed in concrete. Steel fibers can prevent the development of micro-cracks inside the concrete and reduce the expansion and development of the macro-cracks, thus enhance mechanical performance of SFRC. However, there is lack of studies on the influence of flowability of fresh SFRC on the steel fiber distribution patterns and mechanical properties of hardened SFRC.
