Abstract:

The article proposes a new approach to improving the methodology for calculating the bearing capacity of the eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements for cases of their loading with large eccentricities. The basis of this technique is considered as a modified version of the deformation model for the reinforced concrete resistance force. The main feature of this model is the energy approach to transforming the reference diagrams of compression and concrete tension into the diagrams of non-uniform deformation, corresponding to the stress-strain state of the compressed and stretched zones of concrete in the cross section of the eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete structures. This way there is no falling branch in the concrete diagrams obtained by this method. A calculation diagram of the steel reinforcement deformation with a physical yield point was taken as a partial function, consisting of one linear and two non-linear equations. The proposed method also shows the possibility of taking into account the greatest curvature of an eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete element in the plane of its loading. The article presents all the necessary dependencies allowing the theoretical value of the carrying capacity of an eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete element determination. The results of the numerical studies performed using the design software developed by the authors for the personal computer are given.
