Abstract In recent years, an emerging technology termed Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) become popular in construction industry. A series of experimental tests carried out to investigate the structural behavior of SCC reinforced beams. A comparison between the experimental results and theoretical calculations based on the codes provisions has been also done. The beams have been made from concrete having average compressive strength of 30 MPa and reinforcement ratio (ρ/ρ b ) in the range of 0.15–1.38. The ultimate moment for the tested beams was found to be about (0–7)% and (0–8)% higher than that of the predicted ultimate moment based on ACI 318 (05) and CSA (04) code provisions, adopted for reinforced beams cast with normal concrete vibrated into place, respectively. The test results on self-consolidating reinforced concrete beams showed that, the observed crack width under service loads were within acceptable limits.
