Abstract

In this work, the influence of the depth of tensile concrete deterioration on the load-bearing strength and deflections of precast reinforced concrete slabs were determined experimentally. The momenta determination and measurement of deflections was carried out by loading the structure stepwise. Analysis of the results of the study indicated the following: as the plates are damaged, with the increase in the height of tensile concrete deterioration, the stress diagram gets gradually filled in the compressive sectional area and its height decreases, which can lead to the destruction of the structure. At the same time, the shear and bending moment diagram of sectional deformation gets curved. As the slab deflections increase, its load-bearing strength decreases.
