Review article

As a result of numerical modeling using the probabilistic method, there has been estimated the security of the results of calculating the load-bearing capacity of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements with symmetrical reinforcement along the normal cross-section, taking into account the effects of freezing and thawing cycles (FTC). The distributions of the strength and deformation concrete characteristics used in the probabilistic calculation are formed on the basis of the results of experimental studies. It is shown that the security of the results of calculations of the load-bearing capacity under eccentrical compression according to the nonlinear deformation model in accordance with the current norms depends on the eccentricity of the longitudinal force and the reinforcement center. The author has substantiated that the decrease in the load-bearing capacity for the normal cross-section regarding the studied elements under the action of the FTC is maximal at small eccentricities and not significant at large eccentricities of the longitudinal force, and it depends on the percentage of longitudinal reinforcement.
