Improvement of the competitive edge of precast reinforced concrete is necessary to achieve due to the high quality and level of reliability. Previously, it can be concluded that there is significant potential to increase the level of reliability of precast structures by improving the quality of concrete and control. The advantages of precast concrete were considered in the paper. Changes of requirements of modern standards to the quality indicators of concrete strength including coefficient of variation of concrete strength properties were analysed. Assessment of the influence of the stability of precast reinforced concrete structures production due to such quality indicators as the coefficient of variation of the concrete strength and the accuracy of the cross section of precast elements was performed. The estimation of the variation coefficient of concrete strength from 9 to 13% in accordance with the changes in the modern regulatory documents was carried out in the paper. The results of the calculations show that the decrease of the reliability level takes place up to 30%.
Abstract. The modern brickwork development is related to the material quality improvement and reliability level enhancement for structures. To solve the above problem, this work substantiates moving to the probabilistic standardization of structural behavior of brickwork units taking into account the multi-level hierarchical structure. The complexity of brickwork structure is assessed experimentally on the basis of deformations of structural elements along and across the load direction. The work considers the substantiated reliability level and assurance coefficient, settable during a brickwork test in standard samples. This approach allows the considerable increase of the quality of material, reliability and failure safety of brick structures being constructed.
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.
