Abstract: Bending tests under four point loading were conducted on steel rebar-reinforced steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete ( SFRSCC) beams, and the corresponding loading-mid-span deflection curve, longitudinal reinforcement strain-longitudinal reinforcement strain curve and failure mode were obtained. The flexural bearing capacity of the beams and the hybrid effect of steel rebar and macro steel fibers were also examined. It is found that the addition of steel fibers can improve the flexural bearing capacity by 10%~ 42%. Moreover, by taking into account the steel fiber distribution and its force transfer mechanism crossing the crack, a calculation formula is proposed to predict the flexural bearing capacity of the beams, and it is compared with the formulas of ACI 544 and CECS 38: 2004. Calculation results show that the proposed formula has a better fit with the test results. Thus, it is suitable for the flexural analysis and design of SFRSCC beams.
