ResumoNon-destructive tests give information about the properties of the concrete of a structure, but the reliability of the evaluation of those properties depends on the experience of the professional that carries out the tests and the curves employed to correlate the measured values with the properties of the investigated concrete. The main objective of this study was to supply engineers with correlation curves that make it possible to evaluate, by using non-destructive test results, the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity of ready-mixed concretes used in Rio de Janeiro. Test specimens cast with concretes used in several constructions and supplied by different ready-mixed concrete producers were tested. These concretes had, in general, nominal fck value of 25 MPa or 30 MPa. Aiming to include concretes with strength varying within a wider range and made with the two types of typical coarse aggregates of Rio de Janeiro, test specimens cast in the laboratories of two readymixed concrete producers were tested. In these concretes, the water-cement ratio (0.40 to 0.60) and the petrographic characteristic of the coarse aggregate were varied. Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity tests, ultrasonic pulse velocity, rebound hammer and penetration resistance tests were carried out, at the ages of 3, 7, 14, 28 and 90 days. The correlation curves obtained from the analysis of the results of all those tests are presented here. When only one non-destructive test was used, the rebound hammer was the one that led to the best estimation of compressive strength and the combination of that test with the penetration resistance test improved the accuracy of the evaluation. If modulus of elasticity tests cannot be carried out, the ultrasonic pulse velocity test can be an interesting option to evaluate that property.

Este estudo visou prover os engenheiros de curvas de correlação que os possibilitem estimar, por meio da utilização de ensaios não destrutivos, a resistência à compressão e o módulo de elasticidade dos concretos dosados em central utilizados no Rio de Janeiro. Foram ensaiados corpos-de-prova moldados com concretos usados em diversas obras, fornecidos por diferentes concreteiras. Esses concretos tinham, em geral, fck nominal de 25 MPa ou 30 MPa. Objetivando englobar concretos com resistências mais variadas e os dois tipos de agregados graúdos típicos do Rio de Janeiro, foram ensaiados corpos-de-prova moldados nos laboratórios de dois grupos de concreteiras. Nestes concretos, variaram-se a relação água-cimento (0,40 a 0,60) e a característica petrográfica do agregado graúdo. Foram realizad...
Neste trabalho é resumido um estudo experimental sobre o comportamento de emendas por traspasse de barras comprimidas em pilares de concreto armado, com o objetivo de investigar a influência da distância entre as barras emendadas sobre o comportamento da emenda. O estudo englobou os ensaios à compressão centrada de dois pilares: um com emenda com barras em contato e outro com emenda com barras separadas a uma distância igual a duas vezes o diâmetro das barras da armadura longitudinal, φl. Nos pilares ensaiados, constatou-se que a tensão média de aderência na emenda praticamente não depende da distância entre as barras. Para ambos os pilares, próximo à carga última, a tensão normal nas pontas das barras apresentou valores muito superiores à resistência uniaxial à compressão do concreto.
In this work a number of cast samples of A356 and A390 were prepared by rheocasting in a specially designed and built furnace unit allowing for the addition of the nano-particles into the molten Al-Si alloy with mechanical stirring. The microstructure features and the mechanical properties of the cast samples were investigated, as well as resistance to wear and corrosion in laboratory tests.The results obtained in this work showed improved wear and corrosion resistance of the nano-dispersed hypereutectic A390 alloys, as well as enhancement in the mechanical strength of the nano-dispersed hypoeutectic A356 alloys, accompanied by significant increase in the elongation percentage, supported by evidence of refined dendrite arms length, and inter-lamellar spacing. The work also shows significant enhancement in the wear and corrosion performance of the nanodispersed alloys.
