CALCULATION OF THE SECTION AREA OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
At the present stage of development of the construction industry, the requirements for the strength characteristics of materials and structures are growing. This trend has not bypassed such a structural material as a reinforced concrete beam, which has its own structural strength characteristics. With a constant variable or high continuous load on the beam, there is a high probability of the maximum deflection of the reinforced concrete beam, which can lead to destruction.In this paper, a study was made of the increase in the bearing capacity of a reinforced concrete beam of grade 2PB 10-1-p under load during bending deformation according to the results of a series of experiments using a distributed load until the moment of destruction, a calculation is made by the methods of technical mechanics of increasing the bearing capacity of a beam due to the selection of optimal reinforcement in stretch zone. The obtained results of the bearing capacity indicate the safety of using reinforced concrete beams.
