Abstract
The traditional design limits of beams in bending have been challenged by testing from very under-reinforced design to over-reinforced and strengthened over-reinforced designs in order to investigate if the current limits could be abolished. The ductility of normally reinforced beam depends significantly on the amount of reinforcement and an over-reinforced design can be modified to behave as a normally reinforced design, but with extreme ductile behaviours, but may requires stirrups beyond the codes requirements for columns. The ductility of under-reinforced beams may exceed that of some normally reinforced designs.
