The research examines the outcomes of shear and flexure testing on reinforced concrete beams made from steel and polypropylene fibre. As well as assessing the impact of fibre in this structural integrity with shear strengthening ratios, certain elements in the characteristics of the cement that is both new and hardened are presented. 14 square beams being put into practice. Tests were made. There were beams produced from 7 distinct mixing dimensions, depending on the kind and the fibre content. For each composite mix there were two beams: one with and the other without stirrups. The primary changes caused by the introduction of fibres were enhanced shear strength, rigidity (especially after the first breaking stage) and ductility. The characteristics of hard concrete (tensile strength, compressive strength and elasticity modules), longitudinal reinforcement concrete, stresses in stirrups, were other factors utilized for the analysis of performance (at the compression and web zone).
