In recent years, innovative strengthening of reinforced concrete structures for industrial and civil use by external reinforcement based on carbon fiber has been widely used. However, there are only a few application examples of this amplification technology in the water treatment and sanitation facilities construction and rehabilitation. Based on experimental and practical data, composite amplification systems provide significant results both when working structures in normal conditions, and when they are in aggressive environments. Compared to conventional structural materials, carbon fiber-based composite materials have higher strength, significant fatigue resistance, high elastic modulus, chemical and thermal resistance.This article discusses the calculating method for strengthening reinforced concrete crossbars for coating the construction of an underground purified drinking water reservoir reinforced with composite materials. Based on the calculation methods, the reinforcing feasibility is substantiated. This work was carried out according to the results of a crossbars survey. In order to achieve these goals, a survey was made of the crossbars of the treated drinking water tank, the actual effective loads on the reinforced concrete crossbars were determined, the need to strengthen the examined structures according to the results of calibration calculations was determined, recommendations were developed to strengthen the examined structures of the reservoir construction. A survey of the structures of the structure, as well as an assessment of their technical condition, was carried out taking into account the requirements of current regulatory documents.
The calculating stability of an engineering structure against progressive collapse is considered in this article. The calculations results are analyzed. A dangerous emergency scenario was developed and measures were developed to prevent the progressive building collapse in the structures local destruction in accordance with the regulatory documents requirements for such an object. The most dangerous design schemes are considered to assess the structure stability against progressive collapse. A scenario for calculating stability against progressive collapse in the case of local failure has been selected, and a consistent action algorithm has been obtained that makes it possible to perform a calculation for resistance to progressive collapse., The kinematic method of the limit equilibrium theory for structures with elastic-plastic materials properties is used to calculate the resistance to progressive collapse. It corresponds to the turning the system into a plastic kinematic chain, the links movement is carried out due to the plastic flow of the system's links. Two types of undamaged structures were identified to assess the building resistance to progressive collapse: neighbouring beams and columns, in which local destruction impact does not cause a qualitative change in the stress state, but leads to an increase in stresses and forces (neighboring beams, columns); pavement slabs resting on a beam and welded through embedded parts to a beam that has lost its original support, and located above a local fracture, the stress state changes. The conclusion is made about the requirements that should be met in order to conclude the calculation justification so it can be said that resistance to progressive collapse is ensured. It has been established that the calculations performed confirm the object stability - the drainage chamber to progressive collapse in the local destruction as an emergency situations result.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
