Popis: The use of steel fibers in concrete affects its rheological properties in the fresh state and increases its energy absorption capacity in the hardened state. Rubber fibers come from tires and when incorporated into concrete, they promote an improvement in its damping factor. This work aimed to evaluate the use of rubber fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with steel fibers. The evaluated properties were: compressive strength, tensile strength, static and dynamic modulus of elasticity and damping. The mixes of the tested concretes varied the consumption of steel and rubber fibers. From the results found, it can be seen that the rubber associated with steel fibers within the concrete mixtures improves the damping rates of the material.
