Abstract

Abstract. Recently, the strength and stiffness analysis methods of buildings and structures have been rapidly developed in the direction of consideration the actual operating conditions of structures. The article is concerned with the studying of the stress-strain state of concrete and reinforced concrete structures taking into account constrained deformations and creep. Constrained deformations often appear at a young age of concrete, and their residual effect continue to exist for a long time. The main content of the article is based on the calculation theory what concerns structures as ideal systems with elastic and plastic characteristics. In addition, in the article the authors expound the basic calculation concepts of the elastic-plastic systems what provide property to change their stress state in time. The article also considers the mathematical modeling process of full deformations of reinforced concrete structures during operation under high-temperature conditions, or taking into account the effect of exothermy within hardening massive concrete structures. In this article much attention is paid to process of realizing the creep temperature function in the finite element method to calculate buildings and structures. The results of verification of the considered creep function are presented by comparing the analytical solutions with the experimental data obtained for different values of the ambient temperature of the test samples. Particular attention is paid to the theory of the thermal and moisture content of concrete, the intensity of which depends on temperature, as well as on the elastic-instantaneous properties of some objects that depend on the concrete age. The obtained results of the research make it possible to better analyze the stress-strain state of the structures, which is caused by temperature and humidity changes of concrete, taking into account creep.
