For this purpose, some design guidelines were discussed together with an experimental research. For the guidelines analysis, five proposals are presented, RILEM TC 162-TDF (2003), CECS 38 (2004), JSCE (2008), EHE 08 (2010) and MODEL CODE (2010). Within this analysis, the proposals performance were assess from the Vexp/Vteo parameter, which corresponds, respectively, the experimental results, which will be collected from the scientific literature, composing a database (DB), and the theoretical results, which are estimated according to the design guidelines. For the experimental research, four beams are evaluated, where one beam is the reference one (no fibres), and the others are built with steel fibres reinforced concrete (SFRC). It is important to note that all beams are reinforced for shear strength by a minimum amount of web reinforcement (stirrups). For the SFRC beams, two conditions will be discussed. Firstly, the influence of the fiber content (Cf) added to the concrete, which range in 0,5% (≈40 kg/m3), 0,8% (≈60 kg/m3) and 1,0% (≈80 kg/m3) and finally, the possibility to replace conventional web reinforcement (stirrups) by steel fibres reinforcement. The theoretical analysis, it was concluded that the guidelines MODEL CODE (2010), CECS 38 (2004) and JSCE (2008), have provided the best results agreed with Vexp / Vteo≈1,0, however, JSCE (2008) was the most penalized according to the modified version of the DPC (Demerit Points Classification), proposed originally by Collins (2001). RILEM TC 162-TDF (2003) behaved conservatively and EHE 08 (2010) showed more dispersed results. In relation to experimental research, although it was recorded a resistance increases of 20% for concrete with Cf = 1.0%, the axial compression tests, however, the most significant gain was recorded as ductility and toughness the SFRC, to the point of changing the way of breaking the beams, shear (reference beam) for bending (beams with SFRC).Acesso AbertoVigas de concretoCisalhamentoFibras de açoConcreto armadoEngenharia de materiaisConcrete beamsShearSteel fibersReinforced concreteMaterials engineeringDissertaçãoCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA CIVIL::CONSTRUCAO CIVIL
