Models varying the type of conformation of the column and walls of the cup were adopted. This variable was chosen because it was found that for glasses partially embedded blocks with the choice of smooth or rough wall changes significantly the distribution of the flows of compressive stress and tensile thus modifying the strut and tie model using in the design. Thus, through the investigation of this variable, we analyzed the influence of the conformation of the walls connecting the structural behavior of the pile cap. Features such as diameters of piles, pillar dimensions, geometry of the blocks and reinforcement ratio were not considered variables, so that there were no differences in the formation of fields and stress paths. The experimental part of this dissertation was based on the characterization of the materials that make up the parts (concrete and steel), and the construction and testing three two pile caps, one reference (monolith), with rough and connection with smooth connection. Through trials, it was found that the obtained pile cap with rough connection performance equal to 66% of the monolithic pile cap, while pile cap binding obtained with smooth performance of only 36%. In the numerical step, numerical simulations were performed using the ANSYS ® (SYStem Analyser - ANSYS, INC, version 14.0) program, based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). Considered behavior no-linearity of concrete and steel, and the influence of reinforcement in structural behavior of the pile caps. Will also checked the variation of the experimental and theoretical results with the lattice model used in design, beyond the strut and tie model.The proposed dissertation aimed to experimental studies and computational modeling of the behavior of two pile caps, with sockets embedded, subjected to the center load.

Foram adotados modelos variando-se o tipo de conformação das paredes dos pilares e do cálice. Essa variável foi escolhida, pois imagina-se que para os blocos com cálices parcialmente embutidos a escolha de parede lisa ou rugosa muda de modo significativo a distribuição dos fluxos de tensões de compressão e tração modificando desta maneira o modelo de biela e tirante empregado no dimensionamento. Sendo assim, por meio da investigação dessa variável, pretendeu-se analisar a influência do tipo de conformação das paredes da ligação provoca sobre o comportamento estrutural do bloco. Características como diâmetros de estacas, dimensões de pilar, geometria dos blocos e taxa de armadura não foram consideradas variáveis, a fim de que não houvesse diferenças na formação dos campos e trajetórias de tensões. A etapa experimental deste trabalho baseou-se pela caracterização dos materiais que compõem às peças (concreto e aço), além da construção e ensaio de 3 conjuntos pilares-blocos de concreto armado, sendo um conjunto usado como referência (bloco monolítico), um conjunto com ligação rugosa e um conjunto com ligação lisa. Através dos ensaios, verificou-se que o conjunto com ligação rugosa obteve desempenho superior a 66% do conjunto monolítico, enquanto que o conjunto com ligação lisa obteve desempenho de apenas 36%. Na etapa de análise computacional, foram realizadas simulações tridimensionais, baseadas no Método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF), utilizando-se o programa ANSYS®, (ANalyser SYStem - ANSYS, INC, versão 14.0). Foi considerado comportamento do material como não-linear, fissuração do concreto e a influência das armaduras no comportamento estrutural dos blocos. Foi verificada também, a variação dos resultados experimentais e teóricos com o modelo de treliça utilizado em projetos, além do modelo de Bielas e Tirantes.
