This study illustrates the numerical investigations of the performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete tapered deep beams under static loading nature. Three simply supported specimens (two tapered members and the last is prismatic one) were selected from the experimental work of previous study carried by the authors. The selected specimens included a member having steel fiber and without vertical and horizontal reinforcement and another member having steel fibers without horizontal reinforcement. The third selected specimen having vertical and horizontal reinforcement and excluding steel fibers. On the other hand three other parametric studies were adopted using the FEA. Finite element analysis software (ABAQUS) investigate the effect of steel fiber ratio, a/d ratio and type of loading. On the other hand, three other parametric studies are adopted using finite element analysis (FEA). ABAQUS software was used to investigate the effect of steel fiber ratio, a/d ratio and type of loading.
