Deflection analysis of composite reinforced concrete elements

This article examines the deflections of layered reinforced concrete bending elements, which are influenced by interlayer slip. Also, the study shows the work stages of such elements and methods for calculating their deflections. The experimental part analyzes composite reinforced concrete beam stiffness, depending on the shape of reinforcement lattice girders. Based on analytical deflection calculation methods, the deflections of tested beams under various loads are found. The obtained analytical results are compared with experimental data. After analyzing the discrepancies, an analytical method for calculating the deflection of double-layer reinforced concrete elements is developed using regression analysis. The proposed calculation method is applied to both the author’s own and other researchers’ experimental specimens, and a comparison of experimental and analytical results is carried out.
