TO RESEARCH OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF RIDGE AREA OF THE CURVED BEAM
In the curved beams in places of fracture of the upper and lower faces arises biaxial stress state like stress-strain state support zone of single span beam with constant cross section. To define resistance these areas, the of struts-and-ties model can be used. An important step in the development of this model is the replacement of the stress fields arising in the design with a relatively simple system of compressed and tensioned elements. One of the main factors influencing the choice of direction and position of the struts and ties is the height of the beam section. This article presents a study of the effect of changes in the height of the cross section on the stress-strain state of the ridge area of the curved beam.
