The main objective of this research is to investigate nonlinearly the flexural behavior of Polypropylene Fiber (PF) Lightweight RC beams. The finite element (FE) method utilizing ANSYS program was used to build the models and study the effects of some parameters on the response of PF lightweight RC beams in flexure. The considered parameters include the effect of main steel and its yield strength, beam width, beam depth and shear span. The obtained results were compared with those calculated based on the ACI 318-19 and the AS 3600-2018 design building codes and the comparison showed a great match between results, especially the ACI 318-19 code.
