High-strength Reinforced Concrete Matrices, Hardening Under Pressure

Abstract

The paper analyses ways of increasing strength and durability of reinforced concrete matrices for explosive stamping. One of the means to increase the strength of the structure is a technological method of hardening concrete mixture processing. This technique is known as concrete hardening under pressure. The research reveals advantages and disadvantages of this method. It shows that the improvement of matrix characteristics is achieved through engineering changes. The authors describe their design of the matrix, to which they additionally install a compensation layer and a hydraulic chamber. The chamber allows creating pressure inside the structure not only at the moment of its manufacture, but also at any moment of its operation. The paper further describes the developed method of calculating ring-shaped reinforced concrete matrices with a compensation layer. It proposes equations of a matrix and its separate elements motion, necessary for other calculations. The results of calculation of the matrix and its developed structure are described. Graphs of matrix motion and graphs of relative deformations in time done in MathCAD complex are given.
