The application of high-performance concrete as a construction material is becoming increasingly common in conventional concrete structures. This trend demands a better knowledge of the material, besides the parameter that refers to the limit stress in compression. Being a relatively new material, with a known brittle behavior, few information about its performance is available for design engineers that allows the correct design of special structures. As the material provides a higher compressive strength, concrete structural members can increase in size, allowing the reduction of the number of columns in a building, for example. In this case, the fracture mechanics size effect should be considered in the structural design, and the fracture energy turns to be a fundamental property in controlling the flexural and shear strength of the concrete structural members. In this dissertation, some results obtained through experimental tests for determination of fracture energy for high-performance concrete are presented. The three-point bend tests were conducted at PUC-Rio for different compositions of concrete, with compressive strength equals to or greater than 40 MPa. The tests comply with the specifications given in RILEM recommendations, RILEM 50-FMC and were performed in a servo-controlled materials testing system. The compositions of the concrete were established in order to match the concrete commonly used by the companies that operate in Brazil.
