INVESTIGATION OF ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY IN CASE OF AXIAL LOAD

Abstract

According to the new design standard concerning reinforced concrete structures, the examination of the load bearing critical condition has to be undertaken for axial load by taking into consideration plastic material features. The critical condition of cross sections has to he calculated either by supposing the critical fracture compression of concrete or the critical rupture elongation of the drawn reinforcement. In case of compressed rods the eccen- tricity increments due to the material inhomogeneity, measurement faults as well as the deformation occurring till the critical condition, have to be considered.
