The safety design methodology of beams of hyperastatic bar structures

Abstract

An assessment of structural and technological features in the design methodology of hyperstatic precast reinforced concrete and composite steel-concrete strucutres is discussed. Permanent and variable service, snow and wind loads of buildings and their extreme values are analysed. Two loading cases of precast reinforced concrete and composite steel-concrete continuous and sway frame beams as propped and unpropped members are considered. A limit state verification of hyperstatic beams by the partial factor and probability-based methods is presented. It is recommented to calculate a long-term survival probability of beams by the analytical method of transformet conditional probabilities.
