Determination of stress-strain state of reinforced slabs from non-linear material taking into account the influence of aggressive environment

Abstract

In this article, the construction of finite-elemental model of definition of stress-strain state of reinforced concrete plates in conditions of active deformation and simple loading in combination with long-term influence of chloride-containing operating environment. Non-linear behavior of concrete is simulated based on the determining relations proposed by Treschev, cracking and plastic deformations in armature are taken into account. The impact of the aggressive environment is taken into account in accordance with the model proposed by Petrov and Penina. In the article all basic correlations of finite elements method in convenient for software realization on a computer are given. As the object of research for this article is a concrete plate reinforced with steel reinforcement in a stretched area, which is under the joint influence of mechanical load and aggressive chloride-containing environment on the protective polymer–concrete layer. The load was taken evenly distributed across the entire slab area. At the solution of this problem the non-linear sensitivity of the basic material (concrete) to the type of the tense condition, plastic deformations in armature, degradation of a protective concrete at influence of external aggressive environment are taken into account. In the article some especially characteristic results of mathematical modeling of the specified model problem are given. The obtained results of joint influence on the plate of mechanical load and aggressive environment are analyzed.
