Fine grained concrete structures reliability assessment: theory and investigational studies

Abstract

Describes the theoretical preconditions of using mechanical properties of fine-grained concrete in the design of concrete structures subject to risks and the general safety. A technique for experimental studies and data on the fine-grained concrete deformative properties at different ages and different loading levels are presented. The regularities of the modulus of elasticity change from strength, type and age of concrete are revealed. Full diagrams of deformation of concrete are constructed. The results obtained can be used in the design of the fine-grained concrete structures in buildings having risks occurrence socioeconomic losses and able to resist of emergency actions.
