THE GENERALIZED ENGINEERING METHOD S CALCULATION OF SUBSIDIARY AREAS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM CONSTRUCTIONS

Submitted are the main results of experiments dealing with the study of strength properties of the support areas of common, whole, pre-stressed, eccentrically tensioned and compressed reinforced concrete beams. New destruction patterns-of support- areas of said-structuresvare identified and their dependence on-the appropriate relationship of the studied factors was established. A new general engineering method to calculate the strength of support areas of such elements which is based upon a selection and sequential analysis of possible destruction patterns was developed.
