The recovery and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures are increasingly common in Brazil, mainly due to the aging of structures built in the 60s and 70s of the twentieth century, which are close to reaching their lifetime. Added to this, factors such as the use of concrete with low strength, execution failures, improper use and lack of maintenance. Due to these factors that society should endeavor to enhance and / or restore these buildings, thus avoiding demolition of the same and even avoid fatal acidentes. This paper presents a case study that aims to recover a building that is abandoned for nearly two decades in the city of Rio Branco, Acre State. Currently, there are various techniques for strengthening reinforced concrete structure. Such as reinforcement through reinforced concrete jacketing, supplemented or enhanced with added armor, enhanced with application of metal sheets and profiles, reinforcing pillars reinforced with carbon fiber (PRCF), among other. In this work, the method adopted for recovery was enhanced by reinforced concrete jacketing. And for a better understanding of the methodology adopted work also presents details of the enhanced configuration adopted, constructive detail and executive procedures of the method adopted. In addition, the wrappers showing the active and resistant efforts before and after the booster.

The verification of reinforced concrete buildings is carried out by local analysis and by global analysis. In the local analysis are evaluated the effects of deformations in the isolated elements. Already in the overall analysis of the behavior is evaluated considered the structure as a whole. Normally, this overall verification is done through design parameters, which allow to maintain control of problems that can affect the safety or performance of buildings of reinforced concrete. By means of computer systems, it’s possible to obtain, fairly quickly, a series of parameters that offer virtually complete diagnostic of the answers that the structures will present when external actions submitted, like the wind or the vertical loads. Howeverit is not enough process structural models and get results, it is necessary to interpret what these mean and verify its validity. Therefore, this study was done with the intention to contribute with the referring studies the overall analysis of the structures, based on the design parameters to know: 𝛾𝑧 and 𝑅𝑀2𝑀1 coefficients, overall critical load factor of buckling, horizontal displacements, fundamental frequency and acceleration. Are studied several cases of idealized structures, with the objective to evaluate the relation between these parameters and propose simplified equations for calculating the overall critical load factor and the fundamental frequency from the 𝛾𝑧 coefficient. Furthermore, are analyze some real building structures aiming to evaluate the proposed equations and draw comparisons with the limits recommended by Brazilian standards. For the processing of structures were used two analysis programs, the TQS and the SAP2000. Generally speaking, the equations that relate the 𝛾𝑧 coefficient with the critical load factor and with the fundamental frequency showed satisfactory results. For displacement and acceleration, could not establish equations due to inexistence of relation of these as the 𝛾𝑧. As for the normative limits, found to be that even structures that fulfill the safety criteria for the overall instability, nevertheless these may present problems related to excessive horizontal displacements and vibrations perceptible to the human being.

Análise do efeito da retangularidade dos pilares nos critérios normativos de dimensionamento à punção em lajes lisas de concreto armado
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-10-22) PAIVA, Odilson da Silva de; OLIVEIRA, Dênio Ramam Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1324105476558186
The system with flat slabs that do not depend on framework of beam has limited resistance by the resistance to punching shear, since the region of the slab-column is critical due to concentrated loads around the columns. The geometry of the columns is one of the factors influencing the distribution of stresses in the region of slab-column connection affecting turn in sizing the punching shear in the flat slabs. In this study we performed a thorough data collection that aims to collect into a single job the greatest possible amount of slabs covering the biggest names in the study of national and international punch, featuring a total of 131 slabs. A comparison was made between the main normative codes currently used Eurocode 2 (2004), NBR 6118 (2007), ACI 318 (2008) and CEB-FIP (2010). The experimental results were compared with those obtained theoretically taking into account the effects of retangularidade rate index in flat slabs of reinforced concrete, without punching shear reinforcement checking the adequacy, trustworthiness of each recommendation, analyzing the particularities of the rules and guidelines of each normative criterion.

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 da resistência à punção em lajes lisas com substituição de agregados graúdos naturais por reciclados de concreto
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-05-12) RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Jayron Alves; FERREIRA, Maurício de Pina; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4242041552985485; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8905-9479
The popularization of the use of recycled concrete aggregates has increased due to socioeconomic aspects, but above all, as sustainability is being pursued and, in this context, some international standards have been published to facilitate and standardize the use of this material. Despite the constant evolution of studies on punching shear, there is a need for national and international regulatory adjustments in relation to the use of recycled concrete aggregates in flat reinforced concrete slabs. Two reasons explain the slight influence of the incorporation of recycled aggregates on the punching shear resistance of concrete slabs: lower mechanical strength and better bond between the cement paste and the recycled concrete aggregate due to the higher cement content, porosity, and roughness, when compared with natural aggregate. Thus, the punching shear strength is influenced by these properties of the aggregates along the shear plane of the cracks, the two effects offset each other, leading to a similar punching shear strength. This research carried out the experimental test of 6 flat slabs of reinforced concrete without shear reinforcement subjected to symmetrical loading, containing variations in the rate of flexural combat reinforcement (0.7% and 1.4%) and replacement rate of natural aggregate by recycled concrete aggregate (0%, 30% and 100%). The study evaluated the influence of these variables on the punching shear resistant capacity and analyzed the upper limits of resistance. The slabs were octagonal with 2500 mm of distance between parallel faces, sides of 1030 mm and thickness of 210 mm, molded with concrete with fck of 25 MPa and supported on columns of 300 mm of side. The standards used as a parameter for estimating resistant capacity were NBR 6118:2014, ACI 318:2019 and Eurocode 2:2004. The experimental results showed that the slabs with ARCO showed a maximum reduction of 6 % in the punching shear resistance when compared to the slabs with conventional coarse aggregates. The reinforcement rate was able to increase the cracking load at the service limit state (ELS) and the recycled concrete aggregate had little influence on the opening of cracks in the slabs with the highest rate of flexural reinforcement.

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.

Short consoles, as well as some reinforced concrete elements, have discontinuity regions (D regions), where Bernoulli's hypotheses should not be taken into account, since stress flows do not distribute linearly along the cross section. In order to correct the disturbances caused by this flow in specific areas, it is necessary to look for alternatives of calculation through equations idealized by empirical perceptions of researchers, or by means of the Strut-and-Tie Method. In this context and after theoretical and experimental observations of consoles, it was concluded that it is formed in this structure a bottle-shaped strut, and although there is a considerable database in this regard, there is no consensus in the literature and among current codes that relate between continuous reinforcement rates, failure mode and strut efficiency factors . Thus, an experimental study was carried out to evaluate the contribution of three types of fibers (discontinuous reinforcement), polypropylene, polyethylene and steel, which were added to the concrete in three different contents for each one. The results showed that in general there were similar behaviors for the concrete readings, and the opposite when analyzing the continuous reinforcement that suffered tensile stresses (Tie). For the elements with metallic fibers the resistance gain in relation to the reference specimens was noticed for the part that received higher fiber content. For synthetic fibers, polypropylene fiber had better gain in the specimen with second best fiber volume, and for polyethylene was registered for the lowest percentage. These consoles also presented better ductile behavior among all the test elements that did not receive horizontal stirrups. Regarding the results compared to the specimen with continuous reinforcement only the one with polyethylene fiber achieved superior result. Regarding the strut efficiency factors, the method presented results against and in favor of safety, while with respect to the shear strength the codes estimates had very favorable results. Therefore, MBT is a very suitable method for design that presents efficiency and safety through structures that present stress and deformation disturbances.

Two-way waffle flat slabs are structural elements of reinforced concrete supported directly on columns, under bending moments over the two directions, they improve the speed of the execution and save moulds and concrete and, consequently, labor. This work seeks to contribute for the study of the behavior of this kind of slab, as the shear resistance of the ribs and the punching in the solid area, through tests of 8 two-way reinforced concrete waffle flat slabs. Comparative analyses between the experimental results and estimated by national and international design codes had been carried out. The slabs were square, with 1.800 mm of side and total height of 140 mm. The cross section of the slabs was formed by ribs with 50 mm of width for the base and 100 mm for the upper base and the spaces between the ribs had been filled with EPS blocks (expanded polystyrene). The main variables considered were the type of shear reinforcement in the ribs (trusses, closed vertical stirrup and 45 inclined stirrup) and the use of 45 inclined stirrup as shear reinforcement in the solid region. They were presented and analyzed the results observed for the vertical displacements, deformation in the flexural and shear reinforcement, and the propagation of cracks. The values observed for failure loads were compared with the estimated ones. It was observed that the shear reinforcement in the ribs did not increase the failure loads and that the shear reinforcement in the solid region increased significantly the resistance of the slabs.

Punching is normally a critical case in the design of reinforced concrete flat slabs. According to many design codes, punching develops in a more unfavorable way in cases where the load is asymmetrically applied, due to unbalanced bending moments at slab-column connections. In order to evaluate the normative prescriptions in these cases, 12 reinforced concrete oneway flat slabs ( c f ' between 36 and 58 MPa) were submitted to symmetric or asymmetric punching. The slabs dimensions were (1.800 x 1.800 x 110) mm with the load being applied through a metallic plate simulating a square column with (85 x 85 x 50) mm. This research had as variables, in addiction to the load position, the reinforcement rate in transversal direction, in order to evaluate their influence in the punching ultimate resistance of one-way slabs. Results for vertical deflections, concrete surface and flexural reinforcement strains, cracking pattern, observed ultimate loads and failure modes are presented and analyzed. Also were analyzed the estimates of 6 design codes, with 3 European and 1 North-American, beyond the versions from 1978 and 2003 of the Brazilian structural concrete design code. A numerical analysis using the Finite Elements Method to simulate the slabs behavior is presented and its results are compared to the experimentally observed ones. The results showed that, unlike the normative previsions, punching resistance doesnt reduce linearly with the increments in the loads eccentricities, with the flexural effects significantly influencing the ultimate punching resistance. Even in one-way slabs, the transversal reinforcement rate showed significant influence on the slabs force distribution, interfering in the punching resistance.

They were analyzed 8(eight) experimentally one-way flat slabs of reinforced concrete, without punching shear reinforcement, for that the reinforcement rate in secondary direction and the largest dimension of the pillars (cmax). The flat slab were dimensions of (1.800 x 1.800 x 110) mm, same flexing reinforcement, to smallest dimension of the columns (cmin) constant and equal to 85 mm, resistance to the compression of the concrete around 40 MPa and submitted to the load in the center (symmetrical punching shear), that it simulates an internal column of a pavement. The application of the load was accomplished in passages of columns linked moliticamente to the flat slab with height 150 mm, with retangularidade rate (r = cmax/cmin) varying from 1 to 7. The objective was to evaluate the influence of the retangularidade rate, that contemplated in the increase of the control perimeter in this case, in the behavior of the slabs under flexing, and possibly a more ductile failure. The objective went to also analyze the dear rupture loads starting from the recommendations of six national and international project codes, comparing with the obtained experimental results and evaluating the estimates to the punching shear, once, when the dimensions of the pillars are substantially different can happen the polarization of tensions and the resistance earnings doesn't happen in way directly proportional to the increase of the perimeter of the columns. After analyzing the influences of the retangularidade rate of the columns and the contributions that the reinforcement rate in secondary the last loads of the flats slabs and in the failure modes, it was observed that the experimental results indicated that those varied besides elevating the resistance of the connection can supply certain ductility to the failure of the slabs. It was observed that the rate of growth of the resistances obtained in the rehearsals decreases with increments in the control perimeter. Of the observations regarding the comparison among the values of resistances of the flats slabs, it was verified that the increase of the load of experimental rupture didn't come in a lineal way, indicating that the rate of growth of the load decreases with the increase of the perimeter of the column or of the rate cmax/cmin when stays constant to smallest dimension of the column (cmin).

The inclined stirrups have used. The slabâs dimensions were (1.800 x 1.800 x 110) mm and the variables considered were the rectangularity rate of the columms and use the stirrups and distribution around the columm. Ultimate loads, deflections, fissure maps, ductility, concrete, stirrups and reinforcement strains and failure types. The experimental results are comparisons with other results of the codes. The numerical results are compared with experimental results. The experimental results indicate that increase of the rectangularity rate of the columms to make the shear forces concentrat around the colummâs ends, suggesting that the region the shear combat are most solicit. The inclinate stirrups have eficient increase in the resistance of the slab and to change the failure types in some slabs. Observed increases than 32% when the stirrups have to distribuite around the colummâs ends. The low capacity resist to flexion have limited the punching resistance.

The ribbed slabs have been widely used in the buildings it has several advantages in its execution and performance. In order to get a good design of this type of slab is necessary ensure that the stresses are properly supported, mainly those considered critical, which can lead the structure to the collapse suddenly, as is the case of punching in connection wide beam-column or of the shear in the region of the ribbed. In order to evaluate the punching strength of the slab-column connection and the shear strength of the ribs were manufactured four reinforced concrete ribbed slabs, two slabs one-way and two slabs two-way. The flexural reinforcement rate was constant in all slabs. All slabs were square of side 2200 mm and thickness equal to 150 mm. The main variable in this study was the change in height of the wide beam. This variation has to evaluate the performance of the ribs, even when the limit of spacing between them is ensured. Also, check if the punching is a possibility of rupture in this case. The estimates in this step design were based on three different standards. These were ACI 318 (2008), Eurocode 2 (2004) and NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2014). Studies with ribbed slabs have shown that the estimates of design standards are conservative. In addition, this predictions may lead to inadequate results for resistance slabs. The experimental results of this series of tests were compared to the standard recommendations in order to assess the accuracy of these three standards, which refer to the ribbed slabs. Were also built computational models in order to verify that the behavior of slabs as the stress distribution both in connection wide beam-column range as the beam connection wide beam-ribbed. The results showed that the slabs connection wide beam-ribs must be treated in a careful manner due to the difference in stiffness between the solid area and the ribs.

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

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.

This work deals with the formulation and computational implementation, in MATLAB, for numerical analysis of reinforced concrete cross-sections, subject to bending, considering the stress state prior to reinforcement. The analysis is made by generating axial load – bending moment interaction diagrams by two methods: a) scan of the ruin domains established by the Brazilian standard NBR6118/2003 b) determination of peaks in Axial Force-Moment-Curvature Relationships. In both methods, the midpoint rule for numerical integration is applied in the resistant stress calculation, and the Newton Raphson root-finding procedure is used to determine the strain in the reference axis of the cross-section, in order to obtain the Axial Force- Moment-Curvature Relationships. Preliminarily, it was concluded that the first of the two methodologies is not feasible. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the second method was confirmed. Finally, it was possible to expand the scope of this work in order to allow the analysis of cross-sections of any shape throughout the course of staged construction, considering the initial stress state of each stage. The computational implementation for this study was based on the program for numerical analysis of sections SECLAB, developed by Professor Remo Magalhães de Souza.

The proposed methodology consists of a systematization of the inspection process, with identification, mapping and quantification of the pathological manifestations in the façades of the buildings, applying the Damage Factor (FD) as a way to evaluate the degradation behavior as a function of influence factors such as type of manifestation, age and solar orientation of the facades, also analyzing agents of degradation such as directed rain, solar radiation and humidity. Subsequently, the Combined Damage Factor (FDC) was applied, which assigns weighting indices to the FD, related to the repair cost of each observed anomaly. Analyzing the results, it was verified that the pathological manifestation stain (MA) on the ceramic coating was the one that presented the highest percentage of occurrence, that is, greater degraded area, among the types of anomalies observed. In addition, this manifestation presented high values of FDC in all cardinal orientations and expressive values of this index of degradation, both in façades under 20 years and in those with more than 20 years. These results are directly influenced by the extremely aggressive climate of the region, which presents constant rains and high humidity (up to 95%), favoring the propagation of this anomaly (staining) already in the first ages of the building, since the façades (10 and 16 years old) already had considerable degradation rates of this pathological manifestation. The orientation that presented the highest degradation factor was the South direction (FDTotal=9.42%), influenced directly by the phenomenon of directed rainfall, which presents its highest Directed Rain Index (ICD) in the North direction, affecting the facades oriented in the South direction. After the application of FDC, the pathological manifestation of ceramic detachment / displacement (DC) presented the highest degradation index (FDCMédio=39.22%), due to its high restoration cost, when compared to the repair value of the other anomalies evaluated. By means of the histograms of FDTotal and FDCTotal, a characteristic exponential curve was observed that shows a decrease in the frequency of occurrence as the value of the degradation index increases. This characteristic curve was also observed in Silva (2014) and Souza (2016).

This thesis presents a study about the behavior of a reinforced concrete structure subjected to high thermal variations. The structure under investigation is the external wall of an anode furnace used in Aluminum production, and is subjected to thermal variations in the range of 125C (2282 F) due to the furnace operation. The main motivations for the study were the presence of large deformations and occurrence of cracks in the structure, which could cause the furnace to become inoperable. The objective of the research was to investigate the causes of these structural pathologies, as well as to establish retrofit proposals for the structure. For this purpose, experimental and numerical studies were carried out. At first, the structure was monitored using displacement transducers and temperature sensors (thermocouples) connected to a data acquisition system, which could automatically obtain and store samples along the test period. Next, computer models were developed, using a multiphysics Finite Element Code called Algor, for the evaluation of temperature distribution and corresponding thermal stresses and strains in the structure. In these studies, stationary and transient heat conduction analyses were performed, followed by thermal stress analyses. As a conclusion of this research, it can be stated that the proposed methodology, based on advanced tools of structural engineering, was very suitable for the study of the presented phenomenon, since it rendered a precise and economic solution for the problem.

Cisalhamento em vigas de concreto armado com armadura transversal interna contínua

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.

Currently sustainability issues have gained prominence on the world stage in various sectors of society. Several researchers (LIMA, 2006; Hildebrand, 1998; SOUZA, J., 2010, ROSSI, 2009, etc..) Have tried to propose an interaction between the construction industry and those who engage in mineral production and processing, such as the beneficiation of bauxite. In this context, finding viability for the recovery of waste generated in large quantities and no use would contribute to the preservation of the environment, insofar as it would reduce consumption of resources from natural sources and increase the supply of inputs in construction market. This work is discussed the feasibility of producing a concrete, it has characteristics which renders itself to use as raw material in the construction industry, by using an synthetic aggregate obtained from the red mud (bauxite waste improvement) . According to the experimental program to be executed, the aggregates and the concrete produced will have their properties analyzed in order to study the production process and measurement respectively. Aggregates are analyzes of: porosity, water absorption, bulk density and Los Angeles abrasion and concrete, workability, density in fresh and hardened, compressive strength, tensile strength by diametrical compression, tensile bending, water absorption and elastic modulus. It is noteworthy that significant importance is given to the transition zone paste / aggregate, by analysis of the microstructure of concrete produced. Analysis is performed by means of tests: Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results of the analyzes of the synthetic aggregates and concrete produced satisfactory results, showing that they have potential for use in the construction industry.
