“…For example, tube concrete elements with thin-walled steel pipes more efficient because in the result of powerful effect of these elements the steel pipe resists only in the transverse direction. That's why in the general case at the calculation of compressed tube concrete elements it's necessary to use the formula The proposed methods of factors determining the efficiency of steel and concrete α, and β based on theorems and postulates of mechanics of solid deformable environment, primarily on the methods of the theory of plasticity and strength theory [7]. They take into account the peculiarity of tube concrete element work of element as internally static undetermined system and peculiarities of steel tube resistance, that can be thin-walled (resistance only in the transverse direction), as well as thick-walled (resistance in transverse and longitudinal direction).…”
