Abstract
Wide beams are frequently used as transfer elements where the total structural depth must be kept to a minimum. The objective of this research was to study the influence of the minimum shear reinforcement, type of fiber, volume ratio of fiber and width-to-effective depth ratio on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete wide beams. Also the research aimed to check the adequacy of the procedures of the current codes provisions for design of reinforced concrete wide beams. An experimental program including 13 specimens was conducted. The reported results include the relation between load and deflection, strain in the longitudinal steel and strain in the stirrups. Also, the research presents an analytical formulation proposed to estimate the shear capacity of wide beams with fibers
