Abstract

The objective of this work is analysing of the calculating results of theoretical values of the beam flexure by the Ukrainian National Standard, European Standard and by the experimental data of concrete beams testing.The results of the experimental investigations of flexures of the reinforced concrete beams are shown. The theoretical comparison of the flexures of the reinforced concrete beams according to the Ukrainian National Standard and European Standard is done. It was proved that the flexures by these methods have an identical convergence with experimental data. The algorithm for determining deformations of materials at the known bending moments by using the method of simple iteration or method of successive approximations is proposed. The solution of this problem allows practical use of the National Standard and European Standard for calculating flexures. Analyzing of the experimental flexure and the calculated value is showed; the significant difference can be explained by the empirical coefficient.
