description This study presents the development and behavior analysis of high performance fiber reinforced cement composites (HPFRCC). The describedmaterials were specifically developed for application as a transition layer: a repair layer that constitutes the stressed chord of reinforcedconcrete beams strengthened in flexure with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). Nineteen different composites were produced by thehybridization process, varying the conventional short steel fiber and steel microfiber (manufactured exclusively for this research) contentsto modify the microstructure of the material, thus enhancing the stress transfer process from the cement matrix to the fibers. To analyze theresponse to flexural loading, the composites underwent three point bending tests in notched prism specimens. The response of the materialwas obtained considering strength and tenacity parameters (flexural and fracture). There was evidence of high performance by the composites with a pseudo-hardening behavior.
