TY - JOUR TI - Local action of loading on concrete cubes AU - Hladyshev, Dmytro AU - Kinasz, Roman TI - Local action of loading on concrete cubes AB - In the work, different approaches to projecting concrete elements have been considered, taking into account concrete deformation under tension in a casing around the crushing area at different levels of loading. The purpose of the investigations was the detection of the principal factors, which discern the taken empirical approaches to the computing models from the experimental character of tension strain distribution and concrete deterioration around the loading area. There have been determined, through an experiment, the lateral strains of the concrete tension along the perimeter of the side cube faces with the size of cube edges that equal to 300 mm with the formation of the cracks and up to the deterioration. The approach to calculations of the effect made by the samples of the above-mentioned type on local vertical loading with the reducing coefficient of their working conditions should be considered in the regulatory documents.
