Abstract
Long-term strength investigations of construction elements made of reinforced concrete (RC) under creep conditions are considered. A calculation method that allows determination of the load-bearing capacity and long-term strength of RC thin-walled elements under short- and long-term loading is proposed. The method is based on a combination of the finite-element method for solving boundary value problems at each time step and the finite-difference method for integrating the initial value problems. The numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained in the loading–unloading mode during long-term deformation. An example of creep and damage calculations in the RC coating and recommendations for parameter selections are given.
