Self-compacting　concrete　(SCC)　has　found　wide　applications　in　civil　engineering　structures,　because　it　has　the　merits　of　high　filling　ability　and　good　anti-segregation　before　hardening　while　good　mechanical　properties　after　hardening.　However,　the　requirements　of　high　volume　binder　and　sand-to-aggregate　ratio　in　self-compacting　concrete　may　lead　to　reductions　in　the　modulus　of　the　SCC　as　well　as　the　anchoring　strength　between　the　concrete　and　steel　bars.　If　the　mixture　of　self-compacting　concrete　is　not　reasonably　optimized,　the　mechanical　properties　of　self-compacting　concrete　structure　may　not　be　satisfying.　So,　it　is　important　to　investigate　the　flexural　behavior　of　reinforced　self-compacting　concrete　and　normal　concrete　(NC)　beams.　In　order　to　study　the　bending　and　shearing　behavior　of　self-compacting　concrete　beam,　an　experimental　program,　which　consists　of　eight　self-compacting　concrete　beams　and　four　corresponding　normal　concrete　beams,　is　conducted　to　investigate　their　cracking　loads,　flexural　capacities,　shear　capacities　and　failure　modes.　Comparisons　of　the　flexural　behavior　between　the　self-compacting　concrete　members　and　normal　concrete　members　are　made　and　conclusions　are　come　to.　The　testing　results　provide　references　for　the　design　of　self-compacting　concrete　structures　and　establishing　related　code　provisions.
