FEATURES OF CALCULATION AND DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS WITH VARIABLE SECTION HEIGHT

Abstract

In the curved elements, in the places of fracture of the faces, local stress fields arise, which, under certain conditions, can lead to the formation of shear cracks and the destruction of the element along one of these cracks. Despite the fact that a large number of corved beams are used in modern construction practice, there is no methodology for taking into account local stress fields, and transverse reinforcement is installed on the basis of design requirements and experience in the use of such structures.
