Abstract:

Disperse reinforcement of concrete greatly contributes to the properties of the latter. Most research has dealt with the properties of disperse reinforced concrete and influence of disperse reinforcement on structures under a static load of one sign or for a regular dynamic load that is not highly intensive. In practice there might well be alternating dynamic impacts that are highly intensive and over the calculated ones, e.g., seismic ones. The paper presents the results of an experiment study of beam structures with a disperse and combined reinforcement under an alternating highly intense dynamic impact. A method of performing an experimental study of beam elements with a disperse and combined reinforcement under an alternating dynamic highly intensive impact that is based on the use of a universal dynamic stand with extra equipment. The results of the experimental studies of cubes and prisms for static and dynamic compression are discussed. The outcomes of the study of the operation of beam elements with a disperse and combined reinforcement under an alternating dynamic highly intensive impact are presented. The operation of fiber concrete structures and ferroconcrete beam elements under similar impacts are compared. The presented results of the experimental studies allow us to conclude that a disperse reinforcement has a great influence on the operation of structures with an alternating dynamic highly intensive impact and the positive effect of a combined reinforcement of structures operating under such impacts. The use of a disperse reinforcement in structures operating under alternating dynamic highly intensive impacts would enable the resistance of structures to resist these impacts.
