Análise do comportamento de 3 pontes mistas em obras rodoviárias sujeitas à prova de carga estática
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-03-01) SILVA, Paulo Roberto Fontes da; PEREIRA FILHO, Manoel José Mangabeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4765401390604065; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9622-3863; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
Along the BR 230/PA, some bridges had their constructions interrupted about 20 years ago, and with the purpose of providing evaluation criteria to the works of road bridges with mixed structure in steel and concrete is proposed the methodology above. As acceptance criteria, static load tests were used in road bridges with mixed structure through characteristic tests, through instrumentation using strain gauges and LVDT's (Linear Variable Differential Transformer), defining displacements and deformations in the structural elements of the OAE (Special Artwork Bridge), with subsequent computational modeling of the structural model of the bridge, aiming to evaluate the performance of the bridges in service, as established in the structural modeling to the core of the OAE project, which were sized for a type train TB-45 (Type Vehicle of 450 kN of total weight),, according to NBR 7188 (2013). To monitor the displacements, LVDT's were used, positioned in the middle of the span and 1/4 of the span of the central stringers, as well as the strain gage allocated in the steel beams, brace and in the CA-50 steel bars of the pillars with verification of the deformations of the referenced structural parts. As results, an evaluation of the service conditions of the bridge was performed, compressing the experimental results of the static load tests with the theoretical-computational predictions in order to validate the models used, in general, the experimentally observed deformations were less intense than the theoretical estimates. This fact corroborates the agreement with the greater rigidity of the structural elements, validating the experimental results, because they presented behavior similar to the theoretical one, however in lower intensity of the OAE's studied. Thus, the experimental and theoric-computational results were compared with the international norms being the ratios of maximum displacement, residual displacement and deformation. The experimental response showed similar behavior, for the bridges over the Arataú, Anapú and Poraquê rivers, to the theoretically predicted. Inaddition to international norms, the results were divergent, especially in the Turkish, Spanish and German countries, and the boundary conditions imposed on the norms should be imposed.

Análise experimental da influência da adição de fibras e da variação da armadura de costura em consolos curtos de concreto armado
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-06-23) BRANDÃO, Jaciara Santos; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
Reinforced concrete corbels are usually characterized by being support elements whose design can be made from the Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) which is based on fundamental assumptions that consider that the tensile stresses are absorbed by the rods (structural steel) and the compressive forces are absorbed by the struts that are formed inside the concrete section, as it is understood that these elements have regions of discontinuity (D) or disturbances in the stress distribution. This method can be applied in the case of short corbels as they also present regions (D), given that their stress flow occurs in a non-linear manner. In this way, this experimental study analyzed the influence of the addition of synthetic fibers (polyethylene and polypropylene) and steel in the composition of the concrete, as well as, to verify the influence of the variation of the seam reinforcement rate in order to validate the MTB as a solution safe and efficient for the design of elements that present discontinuities (D) or disturbances. In the tests, the breaking load, the opening of cracks and the deformations in the tie rods, seam reinforcement and in the concrete, internally and externally, were observed. The results showed that the specimens containing synthetic fibers showed the highest strengths compared to the steel fiber specimen, being on average 10.82% more resistant than the reference specimens, despite not containing the highest fiber contents. In general, the elements showed similar ductile behavior and failure mode, so the cracks occurred in a controlled manner and there was no sudden rupture. As for the deformations in steel and concrete, the results showed a similar behavior among the specimens.

Análise experimental da influência de ancoragens e taxas de armadura na resistência à flexão de consolos longos reforçados com laminados de fibra de carbono
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-05-29) SILVA, Lucas Carvalho; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
For the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete corbels, solutions are sought that extend the service life of these structures, increase their load-bearing capacity, reduce deformations, and limit crack propagation. Therefore, this study presents tests on experimental models of corbels strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates to analyze the strength enhancement in these models. All corbels are chamfered and have the same geometry. Thus, the ratio between the load application point (a) and the effective depth (d) is approximately 1.28, allowing the behavior to be characteristic of either a corbel or a cantilever beam. All specimens have a geometric arrangement with 250 mm width, 400 mm embedded height, 200 mm height at the outer face, and 570 mm length. The main objective of this research is to analyze the behavior of the reinforcement according to the variation in the main reinforcement ratio and the anchorage method, to compare the experimental results with current standards, and to verify whether the proposed anchorage systems prevent premature failure modes. The reinforcement dimensions consist of a (50x1440) mm laminate applied to both faces of the corbel. Two configurations of the anchorage system were analyzed. The first anchorage method involves attaching bolts through plates that do not perforate the laminate, known as Hybrid Bonding (HB). The second method, classified as FT (based on the laminate application approach), uses the reinforcement laminates themselves, with overlapping layers — the final one being applied perpendicular to the reinforcement and previous layers. Regarding the results, it was observed that both anchorage methods are effective in increasing the strength of the specimens, with HB being the most suitable anchorage method. Furthermore, depending on the reinforcement ratio, the strength gains provided by the reinforcement vary, being less effective in corbels with higher main reinforcement ratios. Finally, it was noted that the proposed anchorage methods were not entirely effective in preventing debonding along the laminate. However, it is worth highlighting that in the corbels with HB anchorage, even with reinforcement debonding, the anchorage was able to prevent complete slippage, contributing to increased ductility of the corbel even after debonding.

Análise experimental de consolos curtos de concreto armado com fibras e variação da armadura de costura
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-11-23) QUEIROZ, Daniel Pessanha de; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
Short armoured concrete consoles are pre-molded structural elements, arranged in balance, which function as a load support. This work aims to analyze experimentally the behavior of short consoles of armed concrete with variation of sewing armour area and application of a fixed content for steel fibers, polyethylene and polypropylene. Ten symmetrical specimens were analyzed, where four speciments did not contain sewing armor and possessed respectively the steel fibers (CA), polyethylene (CPE), polypropylene (CPP) and a fiber-free (CSF). Four specimens with six sewing armor Ø6.3 mm and used steel fibres respectively (C6Ø6.3A), polyethylene (C6Ø6.3PE), polypropylene (C6Ø6.3PP) and a fiber-free (C6Ø6.3SF). One specimen with six armor Ø5.0 mm seam and polyethylene fiber (C6Ø5.0PE). One specimen with eight armor Ø5.0 mm seam with polyethylene fiber (C8Ø5.0PE). They are presented, analyzed and discussed the results of: deformations of concrete and main traction armor and sewing; breaking modes; cracking maps and patterns; end resistance and loads of consoles; as well as the efficiency factors of biela, subsequently these topics above should be compared with those obtained by Abrantes (2019) and with what advocates the regulatory standards ABNT NBR 9062 (2017), NBR 6118 (2023), EUROCODE 2 (2010) and ACI 318 (2014). It is concluded that they have achieved better results compounds that received the addition of fibers. In terms of compression, traction and modulus of elasticity, comparing the matrix without and with fibres, polyethylene was 15%, steel 18% and polypropylene 21% more efficient, respectively. It can be seen that for each test a different fibre performed better. In general, C8Ø5.0PE achieved good results in all analyses, despite not being the specimen with the largest seam reinforcement area. This result is justified by the arrangement of the reinforcement inside the concrete, as well as the presence of the polyethylene fibre.

Análise experimental de vigas de concreto armado reforçadas à força cortante com compósitos de fibra de juta, carbono e vidro utilizando a técnica EBR
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-10-18) MACIEL, Luciana Pereira; BANNA, Wassim Raja El; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2005046563115507; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5085-4352; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
The application of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) with the EBR (Externally Bonded Reinforcement) technique for repairing and reinforcing structures stands out due to the low density of the material and ease of application. In this case, the use of synthetic fibers is common, however, these fibers are considered inaccessible and harmful to the environment. This disadvantages raised studies on the replacement of synthetic fibers by natural fibers. Therefore, this work consists of the experimental analysis of the performance of composites of jute fibers as shear reinforcement. With that aim, seven reinforced concrete beams reinforced with FRP's were molded using the EBR technique, they were dimensioned with greater flexural strength in relation to the shear force and with transverse reinforcement positioned only in a section of the span, to induce shear failure in the region without stirrups. The beams are 2 meters long and have a cross section of (15x20) cm. One beam was not reinforced, to be used as a reference, one beam was reinforced with one layer of FRP with carbon fiber, one beam with two layers of FRP with glass fiber, two with hybrid FRP of layers of glass and jute fiber with three and four layers, and finally two beams with jute fiber FRP with two and three layers. The reinforcements were applied in strips along the length of the shear span of the elements, perpendicular to the axis of the beams, U-shaped. It was observed that the reinforcement with two layers of jute fiber presented a 48% increase in shear force of the beam in relation to the reference beam, this result was similar to that observed in the beam reinforced with one layer of carbon fiber. Other positive behaviors were observed in the other reinforced beams, such as cracking control, increase in maximum shear force and containment of vertical displacement in relation to the reference beam. The experimental results were compared to theoretical results calculated according to ABNT NBR 6118 (2004), ACI 318 (2014), Eurocode 2 (2004), ACI 440.2R (2017) and fib 90 (2019). After analysis, the initial results of this research demonstrate the viability for other in-depth studies on the use of jute fibers in shear reinforcement of reinforced concrete beams.

Análise experimental do desempenho à flexão de vigas de concreto armado reforçadas com laminado de fibra de carbono com variação da taxa de armadura existente e do mecanismo de ancoragem
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-06-17) LEÃO JÚNIOR, Paulo Sérgio Barreiros de; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
The strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures with Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP), using techniques such as Externally Bonded Reinforcement and Near-Surface Mounted, is common in practical applications, especially when using Carbon FRP (CFRP). However, in strengthening scenarios that require higher load capacities, these methods may be less effective due to premature debonding failure, highlighting the importance of anchorage systems to improve reinforcement efficiency. There is limited information in the literature regarding the influence of steel reinforcement ratio on the behavior of beams strengthened with anchorage systems. Therefore, this study experimentally investigates the flexural performance of reinforced concrete T-beams strengthened with CFRP, considering two steel ratios (0.44% and 1.12%) and two anchorage systems. Flexural tests were conducted on six T-section beams (2200 mm length, 280 mm height, 180 mm web width, and 80 mm thick by 350 mm wide flange). Each beam had 21 stirrups made of 12.5 mm bars spaced at 100 mm. For each steel ratio, one beam was unstrengthened (reference), and two were strengthened using either a friction-based mechanical anchorage (Hybrid Bonded – HB) or an anchorage system using bonded CFRP strips (FT). Strengthening was more effective in beams with the lower steel ratio, with strength increases of 58% for HB and 11% for FT. For the higher steel ratio, gains were limited to 10% for HB and none for FT. The HB system achieved a flexural capacity of 117.72 kN·m and showed better performance in intermediate displacements, with ductility increases up to 57 times at cracking and up to 100% at steel yielding. At maximum load, all strengthened beams showed reduced ductility. In the HB system, ductility loss increased with steel ratio, from 25% in the less reinforced beam to 49% in the more reinforced one. In the FT system, the trend was reversed, with a 66% loss for the lower steel ratio and 24% for the higher. Failure modes were governed by laminate slip in HB and cover delamination in FT.

Análise experimental do desempenho de conectores de cisalhamento de vergalhões dobrados para estruturas mistas via ensaios push-out
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11-25) SOUSA, Vanessa Carolaine de; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
Advances in civil engineering have led to the development of new techniques and materials that optimize the construction process. In this context, steel-concrete composite structures have emerged, which use steel and concrete efficiently through the collaborative work of the materials, exposing the metal part to tensile stresses and the concrete to compressive stresses. Shear connectors are essential in steel-concrete composite structures. They ensure the interaction between the materials and the transfer of stresses, making the structures lighter, stronger, and more durable. It is important to understand their operation and to seek new materials and technologies to optimize the structures. In this sense, this research continues the work of Souza (2019) and Barbosa (2016), who studied shear connectors made with CA-50 steel bars bent. The experimental program includes 7 models (varying the bar size, reinforcement rate, and the inclination of the connectors relative to the table of the metal profile) that were tested according to the recommendations of Eurocode 4 (2004). Of these 7 models, 2 were made with 12.5 mm rebar (models A1 and A2), 2 with 10.0 mm (models B1 and B2), 2 with 8.0 mm (models C1 and C2), and 1 model made with 6.3 mm diameter assembled in a single module (model D). When analyzing the load-carrying capacity/steel area ratio of the connectors, the results show that connector A1 (12.5 mm) had the best performance among the models in the study and also stands out when compared to other connectors studied such as those of Barbosa (2016), Souza (2019), and Chaves (2009). No significant evidence was observed that the inclination of the connectors positively affects the load-carrying capacity of the models. Analyzing the relative displacement between the profile and the slabs, it was possible to classify the models by ductility, in increasing order: D, A1, C1, C2, A2, B2, and B1. The 10.0 mm models have the highest ductilities, and the influence of the inclination of the connectors on this aspect is not clear. Analyzing the behavior in relation to uplift, it is noted that the best performances are in connectors B and C (10.0 mm and 8.0 mm) and there is a tendency for worse results in inclined connectors.

Análise experimental do desempenho de conectores de cisalhamento feitos em aço CA-50 para uso em estruturas mistas de perfis em aço e concreto armado
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-10-25) SOUZA, João Pedro Nascimento de; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
The steel and concrete composite structures began to increase as a construction system over the years, due to their advantages both in their structural behavior and in their constructive aspects. These structures are those in which both materials (steel and concrete) work together, and for this to be possible, it is necessary to use connectors that combat the shear forces generated between the materials. There are several types of these connectors, but their goal is to make the structure solid and work monolithically. This work aims to experimentally analyze the performance of shear connectors, for use in steel and concrete reinforced composite structures, modifying geometries and arrangement of connectors composed of Ø 12.5 mm diameter CA50 steel bar bent in shape close to a truss, making a comparative to define which model offers the greatest contribution in the connection. Therefore, push-out tests were performed, following the procedure described in the European Standard Norm EN 1994-1-1 (2004), in 7 specimens, consisting of an 800 mm high welded I-metal profile, and two slabs of reinforced concrete, with dimensions of (600x600x150) mm, in contact with the top of flanges of the metallic profile, containing the welded connectors. Among the 7 models, 2 of them, named Isósceles Truss (IT) and Rectangular Truss (RT), were used as reference; in 4 of them were made variations on the arrangement of the connectors used on the reference specimens, which were named Slanted Isosceles Truss. (SIT), Slanted Rectangular Truss (SRT), Piramidal Isosceles Truss Type A (PIT A) and Piramidal Isosceles Truss Type B (PIT B), and in 1 was made a change on the geometry, which was named Straight Truss (ST). Regarding the load capacity, the ST connector presented a load gain of 10.82%, 32.94%, 19.53%, 34.51%, 30.98%, 23.14 % in relation to IT, RT, SIT, SRT, PIT A and PIT B, respectively. Taking into account the design resistance calculation (𝑃𝑅𝑑) of each connector according to EN 1994-11 (2004), the tested connectors had a load capacity 46.54% higher than 𝑃𝑅𝑑. The connectors, in their entirety, presented themselves as they are ductile in their breaking mode. Compared to the others, the RT connector presented a more rigid, and, the SRT, a more flexible behavior. Thus, it is observed that the proposed connectors presented a good performance in relation to the load capacity and rupture mode.

Cisalhamento em vigas de concreto armado com armadura transversal interna contínua
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-09-24) SOUZA, Diego Ferreira de; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
Reinforced concrete elements can suffer high bending and shear forces, either due to high loads, type of construction or architectural limitation, thus requiring a high longitudinal and transverse reinforcement rate, which can lead to conflicts between the two reinforcements, resulting in reduced productivity during the reinforcement work of the element. As a way to solve this reinforcement conflict, some researchers applied to reinforced concrete elements internal shear reinforcement, in other words, these reinforcements are positioned between the bending reinforcement bars, thus eliminating the conflict between the transverse and longitudinal bars and aiding the productivity of the reinforcement work, as this type of elements could be prefabricated and positioned as designed. However there are no normative standards that indicate the use of internal stirrups. Studies conducted on the subject indicated that the internal stirrups need an auxiliary device, as recommended by NBR 6118 (2014), which would help in the anchorage and allow the transfer of shear forces to the concrete without the delamination effect. Currently, few studies evaluate the performance of the transverse reinforcement with inclinations between 45º and 90º, where inclined stirrups provide better ductility and reduced stresses on compression struts. Therefore, this research presents a type of internal transverse reinforcement, tested in an experimental program and compared with closed-loop stirrups. The experimental program was carried out with a total of 5 beams of reinforced concrete, one as a reference with closed-loop stirrups, and the other 4 with internal stirrups; the main variables were: the inclination of the internal transverse reinforcement at 60º and 90º; and the number of legs of internal transverse reinforcement, keeping the same transverse reinforcement ratio. As results, this paper presents graphs of displacements, bending and shear reinforcement and concrete deformations, cracking maps and failure surfaces, and the last loads observed in the tests were compared with the theoretical loads estimated by different normative recommendations. As conclusions, it was observed that the internal stirrups have great potential in their use, as they present greater ductility and resistance compared to the closed-loop stirrup currently used. The results of inclined internal stirrups showed an increase of up to 14% when compared to the reference beam.

Influência da substituição de agregados naturais por reciclados de concreto na resistência à punção de lajes lisas de concreto armado com armadura de cisalhamento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-11-21) PORTILHO, Shara Katharine Melo Silva; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
This research experimentally analyzed the mechanical behavior of four reinforced concrete flat slabs with shear reinforcement, when subjected to punching shear forces. Two of these slabs were made using a concrete mixture with a total replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NGA) by recycled concrete coarse aggregates (RCCA), and two slabs served as reference (without replacement). Shear reinforcement had two types: double headed studs and individual stirrups. The specimens were octagonal in shape, with 2,500 mm between opposite faces, thickness of 210 mm, and were supported on square central columns measuring 300 mm on each side. The estimated average concrete strength was 25 MPa, and the flexural and punching shear were 1.4% and 0.34%, respectively. After the laboratory tests, a comparison was made between the experimental behavior and the theoretical predictions from ABNT NBR 6118 (2023), Eurocode 2 (2014), ACI 318 (2019), and the fib Model Code 2010 (2013) models. Regarding the use of shear reinforcement, the results showed that the slabs with double headed studs presented higher punching shear strength when compared to those with individual stirrups. It was also observed that slabs with a total replacement of natural coarse aggregates by recycled concrete aggregates presented lower punching shear strength than slabs with natural aggregates. Regarding the comparison between the estimated punching shear strength of the flat slabs with shear reinforcement using RCCA prescribed by the analyzed codes and the experimental results, it was found that almost all code predictions were very close to the experimental values, except for the Brazilian code, which indicated results against safety.

Influência das armaduras complementares na resistência ao cisalhamento de vigas com estribos treliçados pré-fabricados
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019) PINTO, Rosângela Silva; LIMA NETO, Aarão Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0287664572311345; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5911-1368
In the design of structures under great loads, conflicts with the assembly of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement may happen. To avoid this type of occurrence, internal shear reinforcement may be a good option as they are inserted between longitudinal bars. However, if an anchorage failure occurs, a secondary effect caused by the use of these bars may cause a horizontal failure called (delamination). In order to prevent this failure, NBR 6118 (2014) states that stirrups anchorage must be secured by the use of hooks or welded longitudinal bars. Currently, few researches evaluate the influence of complementary reinforcement (hooks), and these are limited to an overall analysis of the specimens. Besides conflict with the assembly of densely reinforced members, another factor that may compromise their mechanical performance is the positioning angle of the transverse reinforcement. According to Eurocode 2 (2004), the use of reinforcement bars at an angle of 90º does not present fully satisfactory behavior, which indicates that different angles would result in more efficient responses. This research experimentally analyzes the influence of the complementary reinforcement anchorage, fixed in the compression and tensile zones of reinforced concrete beams, as a reinforcement for the stirrups. Seven RC beams using pre-fabricated truss internal stirrups were used, assessing the influence of the complementary reinforcement and verifying the behavior of stirrups at an angle of 90º or 60º in relation to the horizontal axis of the specimen. Some variations of the complementary reinforcement (hooks) ratio and the spacing between stirrups were made. As conclusions, it was observed that the use of complementary reinforcement to the pre-fabricated truss stirrup resulted in an increase of nearly twice the shear strength in relation to the reference beam, avoiding delamination until the failure load. The specimens with complementary reinforcement on both faces presented higher strength and ductility when compared to beams with complementary reinforcement only in the lower face. Strains increased from 2.46‰ in beam Wc-0.4-60b1 to 3.20‰ in beam Wc-0.4-60a1, showing that its use results in transferring stresses to shear reinforcement. On the behavior of beams Wc-04-90, by reducing the spacing between stirrups in 40 mm, they presented superior performance in terms of ductility and shear strength compared to beams Wc-04-90 with spacing of 100 mm.
