The steel provided in the beam is such that steel reach the limiting values of strain prior to concrete. This results in yielding of the steel and the steel could yield till it attains the ultimate strain at which point it breaks.

One in which the main reinforcement is provided only in the tension zone

Reinforced concrete floor usually consist of slabs and beams, which are placed or monolithic poured. In this effect, the beam will have an extra width at the top (that is under compression) called flanges.

A reinforcement used to resist shear and diagonal tension stresses in a concrete structural member

A structural material that allows for predetermined, engineering stresses to be placed in members to counteract the stresses that occur when they are subject to loading
