The paper assesses the effectiveness of steel fibers used alone as shear reinforcement in lightweight concrete beams. The tests were carried out on full-size I-beams with thin webs and varying tension steel and shear span. The fibers reduced the beam deformations substantially at all load levels, controlled dowel and shear cracking, reduced spalling in the cover, and helped to preserve the ductility and overall integrity of the structural member. The ultimate shear strength was increased by amounts of 60 to 200 %., but flexural failure was achieved only in beams with 1.55 % tension steel and in beams with 2.76 % tension steel tested at large shear spans. A truss model is proposed to predict the the ultimate shear strength, and it is shown that the model predicts satisfactorily the shear resistance of both lightweight and normal weight concrete beams.
