Survivability of reinforced concrete frame systems with complex stressed elements

Abstract

On the energy basis, using the diagrammatic method, the solution of the problem of determining the survivability parameter of the reinforced concrete frame structure of a multistory building with complex-stressed elements under static-dynamic deformation caused by a special impact is obtained. Determination of the parametric load value, at which in the most stressed spatial section at the considered loading mode one of the criteria of the special limit state comes from the system of canonical equations of the extraordinary version of the mixed method. Criterion check of survivability of the considered physical and structurally nonlinear frame system is performed using diagrams "parametric load - generalized reference reaction" for the spatial section of the complex stressed reinforced concrete element. Comparison of the experimental and design survivability parameters gives an assessment of the efficiency and reliability of the proposed design dependencies. It has been shown that with the adopted initial hypotheses, the proposed method for calculating the survivability of frames with complex stressed elements satisfactorily describes the process of their deformation and destruction under the considered impacts.
