Peculiarities of calculation and design of slabs on elastic cushion reinforced with non-metallic composite reinforcement

Abstract

Fiber-glass composite reinforcement becomes increasingly popular in different spheres of industry and public economy. Unique technology of the reinforcement production allows receiving the high-quality construction material which complies with modern requirements of liability, quality and safety. Pavlivska Square in Kharkiv may serve as an example of efficient application of non-metallic composite reinforcement for the reinforcement of slabs on elastic cushion during the construction of which the composite grids SKS-100/100 manufactured by Ekipage Technological Group were used as the reinforcement units. Pavement slab reinforcement scheme (including the working draft) was elaborated by the specialists of the Building Constructions Department of O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy. The arrangement of the pavement slab of Pavlivska Square was conducted within the short period of time. Due to this, for the purpose of mounting the two-layer reinforcing cage of the slab, the workers of Ekipage Technological Group elaborated a new mounting method which allows the essential reduction of the performance time.
