Reinforced concrete beams on yielding supports with thrust under dynamic load
Reinforced concrete beam with limited horizontal displacement on yielding supports under dynamic loading require considering the thrust response. The thrust presence significantly increases the beam strength and crack resistance. The use of yielding supports increases their energy intensity. The purpose of the paper is the experimental study of using yielding supports under the dynamic load conditions. The experimental results concern the reinforced concrete beam with yielding supports with a thrust under the dynamic load. The paper shows the effect from yielding supports on the strength, deformability, and crack resistance of reinforced concrete beams. The obtained results indicate to a positive effect form the use of yielding supports of the beam under the dynamic load.
