Abstract
1. The suggestions on calculating the strength of concrete joints with transverse reinforcements were made on the basis of using the method of secondary stress fields and permit more complete consideration of the effect of the characteristics of the stress state on the strength of massive members. 2. Unlike the preceding developments, the present suggestions make it possible to evaluate the reinforcement and concrete strength of the structural member being designed with pin resistance of the transverse bar reinforcement to the effect of the initial and secondary shear stresses in the longitudinal joint. 3. The installation of an additional amount of transverse reinforcement precludes the probability of separation of the massive member along the longitudinal block joint and provides reliable and safe operation of the structure.
