<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>The classic theory mentions that the assessment of deflection and crack width should
be taken to minimize those two behaviors. This research itself has the objective to
examine whether the additional fiber steel and increased reinforcement ratio has any
significant impact on the deflection and existing crack width. This test used the
reinforced concrete beams with a size of 15 cm x 25 cm x 180 cm which placed on a
simple pedestal. The test was done gradually in every 108 kg until the reinforced yield
reached. The fiber increased from 0%, 1.57%, 3.14% and 4.71% while the
performance rebar ratio increased from 2 # 10, 2 # 12, and 2 # 14. The result shows
that additional 4.71% of maximum fiber decrease compressive strength and rupture
modulus while the tensile strength increased. The additional fiber reached a maximum
in 4.71% and the additional diameter of 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm increased the
deflections and crack width.</p>
