Reactive powder concrete is a new concrete that has been used in recent years because of many advantages. The use of reactive powder concrete in structural elements such as beams provides higher compressive strength, higher modulus of elasticity, durable concrete and increasing the concrete ductility, so that the concrete has high resistance against tensile stress. The experimental tests of the reinforced concrete beams under the effects of impact loadings are investigated in this paper. The parameters being adopted in present paper are steel fiber of (1, 1.5 and 2%) by volume, dropped mass and height of drop. The reinforced concrete specimens were tested under impact load by one strike only. The test results indicate that the impact force increased when the compressive strength of concrete increased that when the steel fiber ratio becomes more and the deflection has become less.

Thin fiber reinforcement and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete beams Concrete jackets have several benefits, including increased ultimate load and improved serviceability limit condition. The current paper was carried out to investigate the effect of the strengthening and repairing by using reactive powder concrete(RPC) jacket for reinforced concrete beams that’s casted with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) in enhancement the mechanical properties such as load capacity and deflection . Nine reinforced concrete beams mm were casted by using RCA with constant details and jacketed with RPC with variable of steel fiber content and jacket thickness to estimate the optimum details. The result showed the effectiveness of the proposed technique in both deflection and ultimate load.
