Crack resistance criterion of plane stress RC elements with prestressed reinforcement

EasyChair Preprint 1715

Abstract

An analytical condition for crack resistance of a specific plane stress reinforced concrete element with prestressed reinforcement is considered in this article. The specific concrete element is reinforced with orthogonally located prestressed rods that coincide with the directions of the coordinate axes. The crack resistance condition is constructed by generalizing of G.A. Geniev theory of plasticity of concrete and reinforced concrete on the region of existence of tensile stresses: “tension-tension” and “compression-tension”. A graphical interpretation of this condition is presented for a plane stressed element depending on the angle between the main force and the coordinate axes. As an example, the crack resistance condition of the support zone of a prestressed concrete beam of a monolithic reinforced concrete frame is considered.
