Present investigation aimed to develop semi-empirical load-deflection analysis of steel fibre reinforced concrete beams. Eighteen beams were cast with various fibre volume fraction and length. A particular percentage of conventional steel reinforcements was provided. Cylinder specimens were also tested to get the variation of modulus of elasticity with level of stress. The beams were tested under two point symmetrical loading. Strain profile at various sections under different loading level are obtained from recorded strain data at various level and then moment-curvature relationships are developed. From momentcurvature relationships, load– modulus of rigidity relationships is developed. Finally, the central deflection has been estimated and compared with experimental values and a good agreement has been observed.
