Strength and uniformity of composite reinforced columns

Abstract

Development prospects reinforced concrete are inextricably linked with the use of both new materials and and their combinations with already proven traditional materials. Transition of construction to non-metallic composite reinforcement will help reduce operating costs for structures, located in aggressive environments and reduce the cost of living design cycle due to extended repair intervals. Yes, according to research shows reduced life cycle costs structures with composite non-metallic reinforcement can reach 53–205% over 100 years compared to a similar design with traditional steel reinforcement. At the time of this study, there was no method calculation of centrally compressed concrete elements reinforced glass composite fittings. The development of such a methodology will allow correctly assess the load-bearing capacity of compressed elements with composite reinforcement. The use of non-metallic, and mainly glass-composite, reinforcement in building structures has previously been insufficiently studied due to its relatively high cost. Currently, in our country there is a lack of research into compressed structures with glass-composite reinforcement. The need to study the operating features of such structures, as well as insufficient knowledge of the influence of glass-composite reinforcement on the strength and deformability of compressed glass-composite concrete elements determined the relevance of this study.
