Figure 19 : Force vs time in beam B2, content 1.0% steel fibers. Figure 20 : Crack on drainage networks facility, made up from thin plain concrete cross section. The accumulating sediment inside concrete drainage channel due to erosion, increases surcharge, decreases load acceptability and causes crack on channel (Fig. 20). This problem can be controlled by enhancement of flexural strength of concrete. The reinforced steel cannot use in this thin cross section. By using small steel fiber in concrete mix design, appropriate flexural strength of concrete expects. This method mitigates collapse of concrete channel. The fiber reinforced concrete controls graph of force versus time stability, force versus deflection, morphology of cracks and time of starting cracks. Enhancement of type of steel fiber improves stability of beam. The research program continues on how to improve the flexural strength of concrete beam by using different types and proportion of steel fiber. The shape and length of steel fiber plays important role in this investigation. Graph of force versus time indicates flexibility of beam improves when beam content 1% steel fiber. According to this research plan the appropriate small steel fiber improves flexural strength of beam and minimizes crack on beam. C ONCLUSIONS he research outcomes indicate that this method is one of the easiest, cost effective technique and less time consumer for enhancement of flexural strength of concrete beam. In steel-concrete mixture design, different proportion and length of steel fibers have been used. Two types of beams have been investigated. It has been understood that the type of mode failure for concrete beam depends on small steel fiber proportion and distribution. The strain gauges have been installed on beam, to measure level of applied force, deflection and time to failure of beams. The morphology of crack has been studied. Shear crack, flexural crack and intermediate shear-flexural crack have been observed. The steel fiber has been controlled shear crack morphology. Increase quantity of fiber, improves flexural strength of beam. To improve flexural strength of thin cross section concrete the proposed method is well suitable. In this T
