ENGINEERING METHOD FOR CALCULATING STEEL-REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS WITH FLEXIBILITY

Abstract

In the article presents an engineering method for calculating compressed flexible reinforced concrete elements with sheet reinforcement over a steel cross section. The results of the calculation are compared with the experimental data. Calculation of load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete flexible elements with sheet reinforcement is based on the method of boundary states. The work of specimens under load and the nature of the load-bearing capacity depending on the height and eccentricity of the effort were investigated. The proposed method of calculating compressed elements with sheet reinforcement on a steel-cross-section allows to take into account their flexibility in both axial and out-of-center application of load.
