Fibers with added fibers (CRF) are defined as composites, whose main phases are concrete (matrix) and fibers, where the addition of these fibers provides the composite with a significant increase in toughness and residual strength. Despite this, the increase in this load capacity only happens if the concrete is used properly and, for this, there are reference codes that establish design aspects for the use of the CRF. However, in these documents, it is taken into consideration that, when using dispersed fibers in the matrix, the maximum load corresponds to the cracking load, which may not apply to concretes that have a preferential orientation of the fibers. Therefore, and knowing the significant change that the preferential orientation of the fibers can provide to the composite, it is necessary to study the relationship between the maximum load and the crack load of the concrete. Based on this problem, a study is presented related to the relationship between the maximum load and the crack load of concrete reinforced with steel fibers, through the three point bending test standardized by EN 14651 (2007). According to the study carried out, it was found that the maximum load value did not correspond to the same crack load value for any beam under analysis and, in general, showed higher values when compared to the crack load. However, it was noticed that despite the variations found for the two parameters under analysis, the two loads have homogeneity in the samples, making it impossible for there to be a statistically significant difference between them.
Na elaboração de um projeto estrutural de concreto armado, uma etapa muito importante é o cálculo das armaduras transversais em vigas, que têm como principal função combater os esforços de cisalhamento. A partir disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar um estudo comparativo entre os modelos de cálculo I e II, dispostos na ABNT NBR 6118 (2014), que determina a armadura transversal de elementos em concreto armado. Para isso, fez-se esta análise para duas seções transversais, que foram submetidas às forças cortantes correspondentes a kN, kN e kN. Ademais, para o modelo de cálculo I, foi fixado o valor de θ = 45º e, para o modelo de cálculo II, o valor de θ variou de 30º a 45º. A partir disso, verificou-se que, de forma geral, em relação ao modelo de cálculo II, à medida que se aumenta o valor de θ, para a mesma intensidade de força solicitante de cálculo, o valor da área de aço para armadura transversal também aumenta. Ademais, o modelo II se mostrou mais econômico que o modelo I para fissuras com inclinação entre 30º e 35º, no entanto, para fissuras com inclinação igual a 45º, o modelo I se mostrou mais econômico.
