Arc concrete structures are aesthetic and suitable for buildings with large spans. Within the framework of this research, fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) dome-shaped structures were studied in a lab, analyzing mechanical performance via strength, deformation, and failure mode. The studied FRC was elaborated with industrial, recycled, and alternative fibers. The mold used for producing the dome specimens was made up of two parts in order to favor extraction. This study considered 21 dome samples reinforced with fibers and one control, with replication for those with atypical behavior. The results show that the load-displacement behavior of dome-shaped elements increases with the incorporation of fibers, which depends on the fiber dose and the material. Moreover, the efficiency analysis proved that specimens with low fiber content (20 and 2 kg/m3) have the best strength-reinforcement relation. The recycled and alternative fibers exhibit good mechanical performance and ductility. The main contribution of this research is a study of the scope and limitations of different types of FRC as the only reinforcement in arched structures.

Las estructuras de concreto en arco son estéticas y adecuadas para edificios de grandes claros. En el marco de esta investigación se estudiaron las estructuras en forma de domo de concreto reforzado con fibra (FRC) en un laboratorio, analizando el rendimiento mecánico a través de la resistencia, la deformación y el modo de falla. Los FRC estudiados fueron elaborados con fibras industriales, recicladas y alternativas. El molde utilizado para elaborar los especímenes de cúpula estuvo compuesto de dos secciones para favorecer la extracción. Este estudio consideró 21 muestras de domos reforzados con fibras y un control, con replicación sobre aquellas que presentaron un comportamiento atípico. Los resultados muestran que el comportamiento carga-desplazamiento de los elementos en forma de cúpula aumenta con la incorporación de fibras, lo cual depende de la dosis de fibra y el material. Además, el análisis de eficiencia demostró que las muestras con bajo contenido de fibra (20 y 2 kg/m3) tienen la mejor relación resistencia-refuerzo. Las fibras recicladas y alternativas presentan buen desempeño mecánico y ductilidad. La principal contribución de esta investigación es el estudio de los alcances y limitaciones de diferentes tipos de FRC como único refuerzo en estructuras arqueadas.
