bearing capacity

In accordance with current conditions, it is necessary to change the aim of buildings and structures in which a large number of reinforced concrete elements that undergo complex stress-deformed states are used. The task for researchers is to determine the residual bearing capacity of the element with uneven damage, making it possible to choose the most optimal calculation option and select materials for optimization, preservation of strength, and durability.

Due to economic trends in the building industry, the investigation of the residual bearing capacity of reinforced concrete elements has been receiving more and more attention in recent years. Studying the effect of damage on the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete elements is one of the main themes of investigation in this field. Results of 4 reinforced concrete beams’ testing are proposed, one of which was the control one (tested without damages) and three- typically damaged in the compressed zone at different load levels.

The article is devoted to the regulation of the stress-strain state in the compressed elements of steel frames under full operating load. It is proposed to perform reinforcement of such elements with different end eccentricities of load application by rational regulation of the stress-strain state in the reinforcement elements. It is shown that the use of SDS adjustment for frame racks increases their bearing capacity and reduces deformability and welds. The new proposed technology of SDS regulation and possible constructive decisions are offered.

The initial boundary-value problem of thermomechanics for a hollow bimetallic sphere under the action of a non-stationary electromagnetic field is formulated.

For the design foundation, it is important to know not only the structure and load of the building, but also soils properties in the subsoil. Ignoring soil properties may result in an incorrect design of foundation, which may later cause a failure in building structure, because generally known foundations function is to transfer load effects into the ground. In smaller buildings, an engineeringgeological survey is not usually carried out, but basic data on the territory is obtained from archive reports.

A plane axisymmetric dynamic problem of thermomechanics for a hollow bimetallic cylinder under a uniform non-stationary electromagnetic action is formulated. The numerical analysis of the solution of this problem for a hollow bimetallic cylinder exposed to the influence of electromagnetic pulse is carried out. The graphs of changes in the time of ponderomotive force, temperature, components of the tensor of dynamic stresses and intensity of stresses in the compound layers of a cylinder made of stainless steel and copper are presented.

In nowadays economic trends, there is a need in changes in the usage of buildings and structures. This usually leads to the changes loading and character of the loadings type on the building structures, with the subsequent need to assess the technical condition and the replacement or enhancement of certain elements. Also, objects, which need the reconstruction in order to be reequipped or changed it functionality, that have designs which were used under the influence of an aggressive environment or other factors which were not taken into account.

In the article the results of theoretical and experimental studies of bearing capacity of complex structures with bearing cold-formed steel thin-walled elements are presented. Determined and analyzed the parameters of complex structures that affect their work and scheme of destruction.

The nature of the experimental model – beams’ destruction with damaged shelf is examined at the article. Studies conducted to study the effect of beam damage on residual bearing capacity.

The article describes the causes and types of injuries concrete elements of circular cross section, which were in service. The principal methods of model experiment and calculation conditions such designs.
