The evaluation of the ductility of reinforced concrete beams is very important, since it is essential to avoid a fragile collapse of the structure by ensuring adequate deformation at the ultimate limit state. One of the procedures used to quantify ductility is based on deformations, namely, the plastic rotation capacity. Knowledge of the plastic rotation capacity of certain regions of the structure is important for a plastic analysis or a linear analysis with moment redistribution. An experimental program is described in this article. It is composed of 10 tests designed to study the moment redistribution and ductility of continuous high-strength concrete beams. Particular care was given to analysing how the tensile reinforcement ratio and the transverse reinforcement ratio influence the plastic rotation capacity of the beams. A comparative study was carried out on several codes related to the moment redistribution permitted and the experimental findings. It was found that some of the recommendations are unsafe. It was also found that high-strength concrete beams, when properly designed, have enough deformation capacity to be used in plastic analysis.Key words: structural concrete, plastic rotation, moment redistribution, high-strength concrete.

This article describes an experimental program developed to study the influence of longitudinal prestress on the behaviour of high-strength concrete hollow beams under pure torsion. The pre-cracking, the post-cracking and the ultimate behaviour are analysed. Three tests were carried out on large hollow high-strength concrete beams with similar concrete strength. The variable studied was the level of longitudinal uniform prestress. Some important conclusions on different aspects of the beams’ behaviour are presented. These conclusions, considered important for the design of box bridges, include the influence of the level of prestress in the cracking and ultimate behaviour.

The effect of volume fraction of steel fiber and the strength of reinforcement on the maximum crack width of steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete beams was analyzed based on experimental results. In addition, the formula to calculate the maximum crack width of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete beams was established.
