Abstract
This work summarizes a test programme carried out in order to further knowledge of the behaviour of beams with wide compression flanges. The influences of the transverse flange reinforcement and of the transverse bending moment in the flange on the strengths of the beams were studied. On the basis of the test results, commentaries on the ACI and CEB-FIP recommendations for the design of the transverse flange reinforcement are made. An alternative design method is also proposed.
