This paper investigates the ultimate flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams when affected by premature failure due to a rotational capacity of the first plastic hinge being consumed before the last plastic hinges reach their maximum possible moment. The paper provides a simple formula for predicting the ultimate load of a hyperstatically supported beam, taking into account the available ductility. The proposed formula is the result of calibration against the ultimate loads from a non-linear analysis on a variety of beams, with a wide spectrum of configurations and with concrete grades from 10.0 to 60.0 N/mm2. The formula in based on the plastic hinge model, making it easy to apply, and the ultimate bending moments allow for the actual rotational capacity, making predictions accurate.

The study deals with the effect of using Slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) with the reinforced concrete beams to explore its enhancement to the flexural capacity. The experimental work consists of the casting of six beams, two beams were fully cast by conventional concrete (CC) and SIFCON, as references. While the remaining was made by contributing a layer of SIFCON diverse in-depth and position, towards complete the overall depths of the built-up beam with conventional concrete CC. Also, an investigation was done through the control specimens testing about the mechanical properties of SIFCON. The results showed a stiffer behavior with a significant increase in load-carrying capacity when SIFCON used in tension zones. Otherwise high ductility and energy dissipation appeared when SIFCON placed in compression zones with a slight increment in ultimate load. The high volumetric ratio of steel fibers enabled SIFCON to magnificent tensile properties.
