Calculation of composite elements of slabs in buildings, structures and fragments of spans of bridges

Abstract

The calculation consists of two stages. The first one begins with the definition of their class, bearing capacity at temperature of 20 °C, according to EN 1992-1-1. At the second stage, the calculation at high temperatures shall be carried out in accordance with Eurocode 4 part 1-2. Comparison of the “stress-strain” diagram of concrete of class 30 under compression and temperature of 20 °C in two formulas showed their difference. That is, the designers do not have the opportunity to continue the calculation of diagrams at different heating temperatures. There was a need to improve the mathematical model of the “stress-strain” ratio of concrete high temperatures, clarification of the criteria of the bearing capacity of concrete in calculation of the fire resistance of composite structures in EN 1994-1-2:2005. In this paper, the method of determination of εcu1,θ developed has allowed, based on the energy approach, to formulate the corrected dependence of the limit deformation on temperature, dependence of the maximum deformation on temperature, and the value of the parameters of the “stress-strain” diagram. According to these data, using the formulas of the first stage, the “stress-strain” diagrams of the concrete of class 30 are calculated at the compression and heating according to EN 1992-1-2:2004.
