Results of an investigation conducted to study the flexural strength of steel slag reinforced concrete (SSRC) containing steel slags of mixed aspect ratio are presented. Approximately ten beam specimens of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 900 mm were tested under four-point static flexural loading in order to obtain the flexural performace lives of SSRC at different stress levels. The specimens incorporated 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% volume fraction of steel slag fibres. From the experimental investigation it has been observed that the moment capacity of SSRC beams was higher than NWC beams. Thus, the SSRC beams showed a ductile failure, giving amble warning before failure happened. SSRC beams also exhibited a lot of cracking thus the crack width and crack spacing was small. The other advantage for SSRC beams was deflection. The SSRC beams exhibited higher deflection under constant load until failure, compared to NWC beams that failed in brittle manner without warning.
