This paper presents the experimental results of fourteen concrete beams reinforced with steel fiber composite bars (SFCBs). All beams had similar dimensions of 200 mm width, 300 mm height, and a clear span of 1700 mm. The test parameters included the effect of reinforcement type, which was steel bars or SFCBs. Also, the effect of concrete compressive strength on the response of SFCBs reinforced beams was evaluated. When three different mixtures were used with beams reinforced with composite bars. The mixtures had a design compressive strength of 30, 40 and 50 MPa. The results in terms of; failure modes, crack width, and deflection were presented and discussed. The test results showed that using SFCBs as tensile reinforcement increased mid-span deflection and crack width of the beams compared with that of the beams reinforced with traditional steel bars. The results in terms of; failure modes, crack width, and deflection were presented and discussed.
