Abstract
: Reinforced concrete wide beams have been utilized in building construction for a number of reasons, including reducing reinforcement congestion, reducing the amount of formwork needed, making replication easier, and lowering the storey height. Such beams can have sufficient cross-section areas with less depth than a system of slender beams with parallel distance in the plan and wide beam-column reinforced concrete connections, which have a high efficiency to withstand earthquake loads. This study tries to view the state of art in term of recent contributions about the structural wide beams. The past experience regarding these research programs is outlined with respect to the most important findings that gain throughout these studies.
