To the method of calculating the strength of reinforced concrete flexible out-of-center compressed racks
This paper presents, developed by the authors of this scientific article, a method for calculating the strength of reinforced concrete out-of-center compressed racks according to the current regulatory methodology according to SP 63.13330.2018. The peculiarity of this technique is the condition that when calculating the strength, an external force is unknown, in turn, the normative methodology, on the contrary, is focused on calculating the cross-sectional area of metal reinforcement, provided that an external force is known in advance. The inverse problem is not provided for by the norms, since it is used mainly for scientific purposes. Consequently, the methodology developed by us is of great value for research work, where an important factor is the determination of the strength of samples for subsequent comparison with the strength of the corresponding reference samples and the development of new proposals for calculation methods. For the convenience of the reader, the developed calculation method is presented as an example of calculating the strength of one off-center compressed reinforced concrete sample, with explanations and references to the formulas of the normative literature. The calculated sample was actually manufactured and tested in the laboratory of the Department of Housing and Communal Services of DSTU and all its characteristics were found experimentally, therefore, the calculation method is based on comparison with the results of experimental studies.
