A DEFORMATION APPROACH TO CALCULATING THE CALCULATED VALUES OF THE COMPRESSION RESISTANCE OF STONE AND REINFORCED STONE ELEMENTS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF CHECKS OF THE LIMITING STATE OF THE BEARING CAPACITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the method of calculating the calculated values of compression resistance in the framework of checks of the limiting state of the bearing capacity of short stone and reinforced stone elements, taking into account the physical nonlinearity of their materials. The proposals for graphic representation and analytical description of the calculated deformation diagrams of non-reinforced masonry and masonry with transverse reinforcement in horizontal mortar joints are presented.
 On the example of short non-reinforced, reinforced stone elements with transverse and longitudinal reinforcement, taking into account the proposals for deformation diagrams, calculations of the calculated values of compression resistance were carried out. The calculated values are compared with similar values determined according to the current design standards. The results of the calculations and comparison confirmed the possibility of using the proposed approximations of diagrams and calculation methods that take into account the physical nonlinearity of deformation of materials to calculate the calculated values of compression resistance of short stone and reinforced stone elements.
