A technique for experimental study of long cylindrical shells is proposed in order to determine their stress-strain state, load-bearing capacity and crack resistance. To implement the task, authors developed a special stand. For testing, eight models shell were made ― 4 reinforced concrete fiber-reinforced concrete. Fiber-reinforced specimens have additional dispersed reinforcement with steel f...

Currently, growing activities in the construction sector have resulted a rapid depletion of natural resources for building material production. On other hand, agricultural industries generate huge amount residues/by-products every year around world creating environmental concerns since most these residues are burnt or disposed to landfill. However, several current studies presented potential ap...

Objective. The article proposes a method for finite element analysis of pipe-concrete columns in physically nonlinear setting by reducing three-dimensional problem to twodimensional one based on the hypothesis plane sections. Method. equations theory plasticity concrete G.A. Geniev are used. technique was tested comparing solution with calculation LIRA-SAPR software package, as well experimenta...
