With the increased use of composite materials, in search of adding to the new technologies, and, through the application in synthetic fiber contents to the concrete, this material can add favorable characteristics in relation to the conventional concrete. From this finding, the present study applied 0.08%, 0.12% and 0.16% for polypropylene fiber and 0.24%, 0.36% and 0.48% for polyethylene fiber in reinforced concrete beams so that the appropriate contributions could be evaluated, when this element was subjected to shear stress. Thus, after the tests, it was possible to observe that the elements with fiber application obtained a resistance above, however, close to the beam produced with the reference concrete. In contrast, as the contents of both fibers were increased, it obtained a ductility increment, a fact proven by the graphics shear x vertical displacement, shear x concrete deformation and shear x bending armor deformation, since, among the fiber contents used, the percentages of 0.36 % and 0.48% of polyethylene and 0.16% of polypropylene were the ones that presented a critical volume corresponding to the fiber content closest to an ideal, thus demonstrating the proximity of the carrying capacity for such produced composite, from the rupture of its matrix. Therefore, according to Figueiredo (2000), the behavior change is a function of the fibers characteristics, the concrete matrix and their interaction. In this way, the material now has specific requirements for its quality control, dosage and even application, different from conventional concrete. In view of this, it can be stated that the application possibilities of the material are amplified, since the reinforced concrete with fibers presented technological advantages in relation to the conventional one, as it showed a more ductile behavior, absorbing na equal load capacity for a longer period of time.
