The project consists of a study of the deformability of current concrete structures due to cracking, shrinkage and creep processes. This study involves aspects of characterization of the material mechanical properties of concrete by shrinkage and creep tests. There is a special interest in characterizing the dosage processes and the properties above presented for the Self-Compacting Concr…
The railway transportation mode is essential to the movement of goods and passengers in the world, and in the last decades advances in train technology allowed for a great increase in load capacity and vehicle speeds. In this context, it was necessary to develop sophisticated methods to analyze the railway bridges' structural systems dynamically, since the increasingly high loads and spee…
Bridges consist in fundamental structures to the transport infrastructure, developing essential links that contributes to the economy and social well-being. These structures, whether in railways or roadways, are subjected to damages developed due to their use over the course of time, especially caused by material deterioration process and cyclic loading. Therefore, the programmed inspecti…
The analysis of structural behavior to assess the level of preservation of buildings have been the subject of growing research and recognized technical and scientific interest. The structural monitoring has the ability to detect structural defects and thereby forecast maintenance services, providing important consequences in service life and safety of the structures. Thus, this paper aims…
Concrete is a material widely used in civil structures, mainly, due to its high mechanical resistance to compression efforts and its easy application. Design of concrete structures is limited mainly by its resistance to traction, that is approximately ten percent of its resistance tocompression, with brittle fracture.In recent years several experimental studies have demonstrated the benef…
The concern about structures durability is recent in the construction industry and it has changed the belief that such constructions could last forever (Cunha et al., 1996). Most of the deterioration processes development is gradual and has visible manifestations or is detected by specific tests. Thus, problems can be identified, diagnosed and solved before they reach serious proportions …

This project proposes the development of the new techniques for modeling reinforced concrete structures. Steel fibers, disperse in the matrix, can be considered. This technique involves the mixture theory methodology; standard finite element with a very high aspect ratio; continuous strong discontinuity approach; embedded discontinuity technique and accelerated schemes for the solution of…
