This research presents the monitoring of scale reduced models for investigation the behavior of structures. The study of structural behavior consisted basically in the measurement of physical quantities on an experimental basis, to which the reduced physical models were subjected to multiple laboratory tests. Then the experimental data were processed and analyzed, so at the finally the results were compared with theoretical models and thereby to evaluate their ability to simulation. In total were monitored three reduced models, whose physical quantities were measured using electrical sensors such as strain gauges, LVDT's and a system hydraulics load, which in the same time were connected to the system of acquisition of the National Instrument, controlled by a computer command and DynaTester and LabView programs. One of the models constructed of aluminum was used to study the behavior of Suaçuí river bridge, as well as calibrate the theoretical models on the basis of experimental data of the real structure and the reduced model and to establish a relationship between them. The other two models built in microconcrete were used to study the behavior of structures in the nonlinear phase and fracture, for which they were subjected to incremental loads. The bridge of microconcrete was tested in order to verify the variations the rigidity of their cross section and the construction of an experimental relationship for the moment-curvature. The beams with minimum flexural reinforcement were tested in three-point bending to failure, in order to verify that his behavior depends on various parameters such as reinforcement ratio, the beam size, shape of cross section and steel-concrete adherence. The experimental study was completed with material characterization tests, theoretical studies and the development of applications such as PUENFLEX program for calculating the moment-curvature relationships for cross sections and the program developed in LabView for monitoring structures to visualize their behavior in real time.
