BEARING CAPACITY OF REINFORCED ICE BEAMS EXPOSED TO SIMPLE BENDING
The bearing capacity of reinforced ice beams exposed to simple bending under successively increasing loading has been studied in a series of laboratory experiments and by numerical modeling. The model experiments are performed using a specially designed installation, with A400 steel reinforcement, 6 mm in diameter. The simulation is run in the ANSYS software for reinforcement with different composite materials in order to assess their efficiency qualitatively and quantitatively. The original results have been obtained.
