The present article is concerned with basic methods of reinforcement of continuous reinforced-concrete beam constructions. The main disadvantages and difficulties in strengthening such load carrying structures have been identified in this academic paper. There has been offered the method of reinforcement of continuous reinforced-concrete beam constructions. Besides, the authors have established the procedure of designing effective continuous reinforced-concrete beams in case of the reinforcement. The basic principle of enforcement of continuous reinforced-concrete beams is proposed in this exploratory development. This principle lies in the fact that it is necessary to find the desired span stiffness of continuous reinforced-concrete beam constructions, which would provide sufficient reinforcement in the reference section of the beams. In this case, there is no need to strengthen reference sections, which is practically impossible to do in most instances without dismantlement of the existing concrete floor slabs. For reinforcement systems designing, it is proposed to use the method of design resistance of reinforced concrete, which uses theoretically, and experimentally confirmed prerequisites and hypotheses. The calculations are made by the iteration method. There has been provided a calculation example of enforcement of continuous reinforced-concrete beam constructions using the proposed method.
Abstract. Calculation methodology of reinforced concrete elements based on the calculated resistance of reinforced concrete is presented. The basic dependence which allows setting the strength of bending sections and noncentral compressed elements is obtained. The proposed method for calculating reinforced concrete elements is based on the use of nonlinear diagrams of material deformation, the hypothesis of flat sections and deformation criteria for the destruction of materials. The basic equations of strength are reduced to dimensionless quantities and are tabulated. When compiling the tables, the formula proposed in Euroсode 2 was adopted as the diagram of concrete deformation, and for the reinforcement two linear Prandtl diagram was used. The calculated formulas of the proposed method fully correspond to the formulas of the classical resistance of materials, and make it possible to solve the most frequently encountered problems in the practice of modern construction. The reliability of the dependencies is experimentally confirmed. There are calculation examples of bending and non-central compressed elements by the developed methodology.
Longitudinal reinforced concrete elements stiffness exhaustion, often used in building practice, precedes obtaining bearing capacity, and therefore deflections determination becomes a determining factor in their design. In connection with it precise methods for determining such reinforced concrete elements deflections become especially relevant. The elastic-plastic properties of concrete and cracks in the stretched zone of reinforced concrete elements lead to a significant change in their bending stiffness. That is why the deflections determined by the materials classical resistance formulas differ significantly from the real ones. A large quantity of methods for determining deflections is based on the elastic characteristics correction of reinforced concrete elements consolidated section. Such methods, although providing calculation satisfactory results, are rather approximate and have empirical nature, due to it they have limited application. More precise calculation methods consist of curvature usage to determine deflections. The curvature of reinforced concrete elements cross sections is determined directly from the equilibrium equations, which are written taking into account nonlinear materials deformation diagrams. Calculation examples for bending reinforced concrete elements deflection are given.
