CALCULATION MODEL OF A COMPLEX STRESS REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENT OF A BOXED SECTION DURING TORSION WITH BENDING

Abstract

Statement of the problem. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific publications and guidelines, it is found that the known deformation models for the calculation of complex tensile reinforced concrete elements during torsional bending are quite conditional. Therefore the article considers the solution of the problem of designing a computational model of a reinforced concrete element during torsion with bending in the post-crack stage, which most fully accounts for the specifics of crack formation, deformation and destruction of such elements. The case is considered for when among all possible external influences the action of torques and bending moments has the greatest influence on the stress-strain. Results. Using the equations of statics and physical ratios of reinforced concrete, the calculated parameters are identified such as stresses in concrete of compressed zone, height of compressed concrete, stresses in clamps, deformations in concrete and reinforcement, curvature and torsion angle of reinforced concrete element. Conclusions. The obtained analytical dependences were tested by means of numerical calculation of the reinforced concrete strapping crossbar of the outer contour of a residential building of box section of high-strength concrete. The suggested deformation model can be employed in the design of a wide class of reinforced concrete structures working on torsional bending.
