Abstract

Normative documents in the field of reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures and the design of prefabricated monolithic structures fairly prescribe consideration of the initial stressstrain state of structures before reinforcement. The calculation can be performed using a normalized nonlinear deformed model according to SP 63.13330. At the same time, it does not explicitly provide for a calculation in several stages. The aim of the study is to develop a calculation method based on a normalized nonlinear deformation model in a staged formulation with minimal differences from the provisions of SP 63.13330. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are set: development of a calculation method, implementation of the method in the form of a universal program and verification of the developed program. The article presents a universal nonlinear deformation model in a staged formulation, which allows, within the framework of certain ratios, to calculate the strength and crack resistance of structural sections at an unlimited number of work stages, taking into account reinforcement, prestressing, initial stresses and cyclic loading (unloading and reloading). The method is implemented as a program in the Python programming language and verified on full-scale and numerical (finite element method) experiments. If we assume the initial stresses and deformations to be zero and calculate in one stage, then the proposed model is reduced to the SP 63.13330 model. For this reason, changing the norms according to the proposed method will not affect the current algorithms for calculating structures in one stage, however, it will significantly increase the scope of the model for calculating prefabricated monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete and reinforced structures. In addition, the accuracy of calculations of prestressed structures will increase, and it will be possible to calculate the cyclic loading of the section.
