4 General requirements for concrete and reinforced concrete structures
4.1 Concrete and reinforced concrete structures of all types should satisfy the requirements
on:
safety;
serviceability;
durability,
additional requirements stated in design task.
4.2 To satisfy safety requirements structures should have such basic specifications to exclude
(under various design actions during construction and service) any type of damage or
serviceability failures connected to doing harm to people’s, animals’ and plants’ lives or health,
environmental harm or property damage.
4.3 To satisfy serviceability requirements structures should have such basic specifications to
exclude (under various design actions) any cracking or excessive crack openings, excessive
displacements, fluctuations and other failures which hinder normal service (violation of exterior
structure requirements, technological requirements for normal service of equipment,
mechanisms, structural requirements for interaction of members and other requirements
stated while designing).
10
In necessary cases structures should have specifications which provide thermal and sound
insulation, environmental control and other requirements.
Crack absence requirements should be met for reinforced concrete structures with
ensured impermeability in case of fully tensioned section (being under pressure of liquid or
gases, affected by radiation etc.), for unique structures with high durability requirements and
for structures operated in aggressive medium in cases stipulated in SP 28.13330.
For other reinforced concrete structures cracking is available and they should meet the
requirements on limiting crack widths.
4.4 To meet durability requirements a structure should have such basic specifications that
during stated period of time it should meet safety and serviceability requirements. While
possible effect on geometric specifications of structures and mechanic material specifications
of different design actions (long-term load; unfavorable climatic, technological, thermal and
humidity actions; alternate freezing and thawing; aggressive actions etc.) should be considered.
4.5 Safety, serviceability, durability of concrete and reinforced concrete structures and other
requirements set by design task should be ensured by fulfilling of:
requirements for concrete and its components;
reinforcement requirements;
structural analysis requirements;
structural requirements;
technological requirements;
service requirements.
Requirements for loads and actions, fire resistance, impermeability, frost resistance,
ultimate deformations (deflections, displacements, fluctuation amplitudes), design values of
outdoor air temperature and relative humidity of the environment, structural protection from
environmental actions etc., are stated by the respective regulatory documents (SP 20.13330, SP
14.13330, SP 28.13330, SP 22.13330, SP 131.13330, SP 122.13330).
4.6 While designing concrete and reinforced concrete structures, the safety of the structures
is established according to GOST R 54257 with semiprobabilistic design method by using design
values of loads and actions, design parameters of concrete and reinforcement (or structural
steel), determined with the help of the respective partial safety factors and characteristic
values of these parameters, considering responsibility of buildings and constructions.
Normative values of loads and actions, combination factors, load safety factors,
responsibility safety factors, division of the loads into permanent and temporary (long and
short-term) are stated by the respective regulatory documents for building structures (SP
20.13330).
11
Design values of loads and actions are assumed depending on the type of design limit state
and design situation.
Safety level for design values of material properties is established depending on the design
situations and danger of limit state achievement and it is controlled by safety factors for
concrete and reinforcement (or structural steel).
Concrete and reinforced concrete structures design may be performed according to the set
safety factor on the basis of the full probability calculation if sufficient data on variability of
main factors, included into design relationship, is available.
5 Concrete and reinforced concrete structures design requirements
5.1 Basic provisions
5.1.1 Concrete and reinforced concrete structures design should be performed in
accordance with regulations of GOST 27751 for limit states including:
first group limit states, resulting into nonapplicable serviceability of structures;
second group limit states, hindering structures normal service or reducing structures
durability in comparison with the imposed terms.
Design should assure safety of structures during both their service and performance of work
in compliance with imposed requirements.
First group limit states design includes:
strength design;
shape stability design (for thin-walled structures);
position stability design (overturning, sliding, floating-up).
Strength design of concrete and reinforced concrete structures should be performed taking
into account that forces, stresses and deformations in structures from different actions
considering initial stress state (prestress, thermal and other actions) should not exceed the
values stated in the regulatory documents.
Shape and position stability design (considering interaction of structure and foundation,
their deformation properties, shear resistance between basement and foundation and other
factors) should be performed in accordance with appropriate regulatory documents for certain
structures.
In appropriate cases depending on the structure type and responsibility, the limit state
design due to urgent service termination of buildings and constructions (excessive
deformations, displacements in joints etc.) should be performed.
Second group limit states design includes:
12
cracking design;
crack opening design;
deformation analysis.
Cracking design of concrete and reinforced concrete structures should be performed taking
into account that forces, stresses and deformations in structures from different actions should
not exceed the respective limit values sustained by a structure at cracking.
Crack opening design of reinforced concrete structures is performed taking into account that
crack width from different actions should not exceed the limit values determined according to
requirements for the structure, operation conditions, environmental attacks and material
properties considering rebar behavior in case of corrosion.
Deformation analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete structures should be performed
taking into account that deflections, rotation angles, displacements and fluctuation amplitudes
of structures from different actions should not exceed the respective limit values.
For structures where cracking is not acceptable, crack absence requirements should be met.
In this case crack opening design is not performed.
For other structures where cracking is acceptable, cracking design is performed to define
need for crack opening design and consider cracks at deformation analysis.
5.1.2 First and second group limit states design of concrete and reinforced concrete
structures (linear, plane, space, solid) is performed for stresses, forces, and deformations and
displacements calculated from external actions in structures and systems of such structures
taking account of physical non-linearity (inelastic concrete and reinforcement strains), possible
cracking and in some cases – anisotropy, damage accumulations and geometrical non-linearity
(deformations influence on forces in structures).
Physical non-linearity and anisotropy should be considered in the respective stress-strain
relationships (or forces and displacements), as well as in conditions for strength and crack
resistance of material.
In statically indeterminate structures one should consider force redistribution in system
members due to cracking and inelastic strains in concrete and reinforcement until limit state
occurs in the object. If there are no design methods considering inelastic properties of
reinforced concrete, as well as for preliminary design considering inelastic properties of
reinforced concrete, the forces and stresses in statically indeterminate structures and systems
may be determined assuming elastic work of reinforced concrete members. While physical nonlinearity influence is recommended to be considered by modifying linear analysis results based
on the experimental research data, non-linear model tests, analysis results of similar projects
and expert opinion.
13
In structural strength, deformation, cracking and crack opening analysis based on the finite
element method, both strength and cracking conditions should be checked for all finite
elements constituting the structure and conditions when excessive structural displacements
occur. For the ultimate limit state it is allowed to consider certain finite elements damaged, if it
is not followed by progressive collapse of a building or construction and when the referred load
is not acting, the serviceability of a building or construction is ensured or may be restored.
Ultimate forces and deformations in concrete and reinforced concrete structures should be
determined based on design schemes (models) corresponding to real physical behaviour of
structures and materials in the referred limit state.
Bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures, which may be subjected to plastic strains
(particularly when using reinforcement with yield strength), is allowed to be determined by
limit equilibrium method.
5.1.3 In the limit states design of concrete and reinforced concrete structures, different
design situations in compliance with GOST R 54257 should be considered: including stages of
manufacturing, transportation, erection, service, emergency situations and fire.
5.1.4 Concrete and reinforced concrete structures design should be performed for all load
types complying with functional responsibility of buildings and constructions considering
environmental attacks (climatic actions and water – for structures surrounded by water), where
necessary − considering fire, technological thermal and humidity actions and aggressive
chemical environment.
5.1.5 Concrete and reinforced concrete structures design is performed for bending
moments, axial and shear forces, torsional moments, local loads.
5.1.6 In the design of precast structures for forces arising while lifting, transportation or
erection, the dead load should be applied with the dynamic factor equal to:
1,60 – while transportation,
1,40 – while lifting and erection.
For the specified factors it is allowed to assume reduced values under certain circumstances
but not lower than 1,25.
5.1.7 In the design of concrete and reinforced concrete structures the following should be
considered: special properties of different concrete and reinforcement types, loading behaviour
and environmental attacks, reinforcement method, interaction of reinforcement and concrete
(if bond is available or not) manufacturing technology of structural types of reinforced concrete
members of buildings and constructions.
5.1.8 Prestressed structure analysis should be performed considering initial (preliminary)
stresses and strains in reinforcement and concrete, prestress losses and characteristics of
prestress transfer to concrete.
14
5.1.9 In monolithic structures one should provide structural strength taking account of
construction joints.
5.1.10 In the design of precast structures one should provide strength of joint connections
and butt joints of precast members performed with fixings, reinforcement dowels and grouting.
5.1.11 In the design of flat and space structures subjected to force actions in two
orthogonally related directions one considers flat and space small specific members separated
from structure with forces acting on lateral member sides. When there are cracks, the forces
are determined taking account of crack location, reinforcement rigidity (axial and tangential),
concrete rigidity (between and in cracks) and other peculiarities. When there are no cracks, the
forces are determined the same as for the solid body.
When there are cracks it is permitted to determine forces assuming elastic behavior of
reinforced concrete member.
Design of members should be performed for the most critical sections oriented with an
angle with respect to direction of forces applied to the member, based on design models
considering tensile reinforcement behaviour in the crack and concrete behavior between cracks
in terms of plane stress state.
5.1.12 Flat and space structures may be designed for a structure in general based on the
limit equilibrium method and considering deformed shape by the failure point.
5.1.13 In the design of solid structures subjected to force actions in three orthogonally
related directions, the small space specific members separated from structure with forces
applied to lateral member sides are considered. Forces should be determined based on the
assumptions the same as for flat members (see 5.1.11).
Design of members should be performed for the most critical sections oriented with an
angle with respect to direction of forces applied to the member, based on design models taking
account of the concrete and reinforcement behavior in terms of stress state.
5.1.14 For complex configuration structures (e.g. space) one may use evaluation analysis
methods of bearing capacity, crack resistance, deformations and physical model test results.
5.2 Requirements for concrete and reinforced concrete members strength design
5.2.1 Strength design of concrete and reinforced concrete members is performed: for
normal sections (for bending moments and axial forces) – based on non-linear deformation
model. For simple types of reinforced concrete structures (rectangular, T-section and I-section
with reinforcement located at top and bottom sides) – the design is permitted to be performed
based on ultimate forces;
for normal sections (for shear forces), for spatial sections (for torsional moments), for local
loading (local compression, punching) – based on ultimate forces.
15
Strength design of short reinforced concrete members (short cantilevers and other
members) is performed based on frame-bar model.
5.2.2 Ultimate forces strength design of concrete and reinforced concrete members is
performed taking into account that forces due to external loads and actions F in the referred
section should not exceed the ultimate force Fult which can be sustained by a member in a
section
F  Fult.
(5.1)
Strength design of concrete members
5.2.3 Concrete members depending on their service conditions and requirements should be
calculated for sections normal to the ultimate forces. The calculation may (see 5.2.5) or may
not (see 5.2.4) include the resistance of concrete in the tension zone.
5.2.4 Eccentrically compressed concrete members with eccentricity values of axial force not
exceeding 0,9 of the distance from the centroid of a section to the most compressed fibres,
should be calculated not considering resistance of concrete in the tension zone. The ultimate
force, which can be sustained by the member, is determined by the design compressive
resistance of concrete Rb uniformly distributed over a notional part of the compression zone
with the centroid coinciding with the point where axial force is applied.
Triangular stress diagram with stresses, not exceeding design compressive resistance of
concrete Rb should be assumed for solid concrete structures in the compression zone. The
eccentricity of the axial force about the sectional centroid should not exceed 0,65 of the
distance from the centroid to the most compressed concrete fibres.
5.2.5 The following members should be designed considering concrete resistance in the
tension zone:
- eccentrically compressed concrete members with eccentricity of axial force exceeding that,
stated in 5.2.4 of the present chapter,
- bending concrete members (allowed to be used),
- eccentrically compressed members with eccentricity of axial force equal to that, stated in
5.2.4 which service conditions do not allow cracking.
The ultimate force which can be sustained by the section is determined the same as for
elastic body at the maximum tension stresses equal to the design values of axial tensile
resistance of concrete Rbt.
5.2.6 For eccentrically compressed concrete members, longitudinal bending and accidental
eccentricity should be taken into account.
16
Strength design of normal sections of reinforced concrete members
5.2.7 Design of reinforced concrete members based on ultimate forces should be performed
defining ultimate forces which can be sustained by concrete and reinforcement in a normal
section, based on the following statements:
tensile resistance of concrete is assumed to be 0;
compressive resistance of concrete is represented by stresses equal to the design
compressive resistance of concrete and uniformly distributed over a notional part of the
concrete compression zone;
tensile and compressive stresses in reinforcement are assumed not exceeding design tensile
and compressive resistances respectively.
5.2.8 Design of reinforced concrete members based on non-linear deformation model is
performed on the basis of concrete and reinforcement stress-strain diagrams using flat crosssection hypothesis as a base. Reaching of ultimate strains in concrete and reinforcement is
considered as strength condition of a normal section.
5.2.9 In the design of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete members, the accidental
eccentricity and longitudinal bending effect should be considered.
Strength design of inclined sections of reinforced concrete members
5.2.10 Strength design of inclined sections of reinforced concrete members is performed: of
an inclined section for shear force and bending moment and of a strip between inclined
sections for shear force.
5.2.11 In the strength design of an inclined section for shear force, the ultimate shear force
which may be sustained by the member in the inclined section should be defined as a sum of
ultimate shear forces, sustained by concrete in the inclined section and transverse
reinforcement crossing the inclined section.
5.2.12 In the strength design of an inclined section for bending moment, the ultimate
moment which may be sustained by the member in the inclined section should be defined as a
sum of ultimate moments, sustained by longitudinal and transverse reinforcement crossing
inclined section about an axis passing through the point where the resultant of the forces is
applied in the compression zone.
5.2.13 In the design of a strip between inclined sections for shear force, the ultimate shear
force that may be sustained by the member should be determined considering strength of the
inclined concrete strip subjected to compression forces along the strip and tension forces due
to transverse reinforcement crossing the inclined strip.
Strength design of spatial sections
5.2.14 In the strength design of inclined sections, the ultimate torsional moment which may
be sustained by the member should be defined as a sum of ultimate torsional moments,
17
sustained by longitudinal and transverse reinforcement located at each side. Besides, it is
necessary to perform the strength design of a concrete strip located between spatial sections
and subjected to compression forces along the strip and to tension forces due to transverse
reinforcement crossing the strip.
Design for local loading
5.2.15 In the design of reinforced concrete members for local compression, the ultimate
compression force that may be sustained by the member should be determined with regard to
concrete resistance at three-dimensional stress state due to surrounding concrete and
confinement reinforcement, if it is available.
5.2.16 Punching design is performed for plane reinforced concrete members (slabs) if
concentrated forces and moments occur in the punching zone. Ultimate force that may be
sustained by reinforced concrete member at punching should be defined as a sum of ultimate
forces, sustained by concrete and transverse reinforcement located in the punching zone.
5.3 Requirements for reinforced concrete members cracking design
5.3.1 Design of reinforced concrete members for normal cracks is performed based on
ultimate forces or non-linear deformation model. Design for inclined cracks is performed based
on ultimate forces.
5.3.2 Cracking design of reinforced concrete members, based on ultimate forces, is
performed provided that force due to external loads and actions F in the referred section
should not exceed the ultimate force Fcrc,ult, which may be sustained by reinforced concrete
member at cracking.
F  Fcrc,ult.
(5.2)
5.3.3 Ultimate force sustained by reinforced concrete member at normal cracking should be
determined considering reinforced concrete member being solid taking account of elastic
strains in reinforcement and inelastic strains in tensile and compressive concrete at maximum
normal tensile stresses in concrete equal to design values of axial tensile resistance of concrete
Rbt.ser.
5.3.4 Design of reinforced concrete members for normal cracking using non-linear
deformation model is performed based on stress-strain diagrams of reinforcement, tensile and
compressive concrete and flat cross-section hypothesis. Reaching of ultimate strains in tensile
concrete is considered as cracking condition.
5.3.5 Ultimate force which may be sustained by reinforced concrete member at inclined
cracking should be determined with regard to reinforced concrete member being solid elastic
body and concrete strength condition for in-plane stress condition «compression-tension».
5.4 Requirements for reinforced concrete members crack opening design
5.4.1 Design of reinforced concrete members for different crack opening types is performed
in case when cracking control revealed that there are cracks.
18
5.4.2 Crack opening design is performed considering that crack width due to external load
асrс should not exceed the ultimate crack width acrc,ult.
acrc  acrc,ult.
(5.3)
5.4.3 The width of normal cracks is defined as the product of average reinforcement strains
in the fragment between cracks and length of the fragment. Average reinforcement strains
between cracks are determined considering action of tensile concrete between cracks.
Reinforcement strains in a crack are determined from conditionally elastic design of reinforced
concrete member with cracks, using reduced deformation modulus of compressive concrete
determined considering effect of inelastic concrete strains of the compression zone or using
non-linear deformation model. The distance between cracks is determined taking into account
that forces difference in longitudinal reinforcement in the section with a crack and between
cracks should be sustained by bond in the fragment length.
The width of normal cracks should be determined taking account of loading type
(recurrence, duration etc.) and type of rebar section.
5.4.4 Ultimate crack width acrc,ult should be determined from esthetic characteristics,
structure permeability requirements, depending on loading duration, reinforcement steel type
and its susceptibility to corrosion in a crack (taking into account SP 28.13330) .
5.5 Requirements for reinforced concrete members deformation analysis
5.5.1 Deformation analysis of reinforced concrete members is performed taking into account
that structural deflections or displacements f due to external load should not exceed ultimate
deflections or displacements fult.
f  fult.
(5.4)
5.5.2 Deflections or displacements of reinforced concrete structures are determined
according to general rules of structural mechanics depending on bending, shear and axial
deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete member in sections lengthwise (curvature,
shear angle etc.).
5.5.3 In cases when deflections of reinforced concrete members generally depend on
bending deformations, deflections are determined according to member curvature or rigidity
characteristics.
Reinforced concrete member curvature is determined as quotient of bending moment and
rigidity of reinforced concrete section at bending.
Rigidity of the referred reinforced concrete member section is determined according to
general rules of mechanics of materials: for a section without cracks – as for conditionally
elastic solid member, for a section with cracks – as for conditionally elastic member with cracks
(assuming linear stress-strain relationship). Inelastic concrete deformations effect is considered
using reduced modulus of concrete deformations, tensile concrete effect between cracks – with
the help of the reduced deformation modulus of reinforcement.
19
Deformation analysis of reinforced concrete structures taking account of cracks is performed
in case, when design cracking control reveals that there are cracks. Otherwise deformation
analysis is performed as for reinforced concrete members without cracks.
Curvature and longitudinal deformations of a reinforced concrete member are also
determined using non-linear deformation model proceeding from equilibrium expression of
external and internal forces applied to normal section, flat cross-section hypothesis, stressstrain diagrams of concrete and reinforcement, average reinforcement deformations between
cracks.
5.5.4 Deformation analysis of reinforced concrete members should be performed taking into
account duration of loads set by the respective regulatory documents.
In deflection calculations, the fragment rigidity should be determined taking into account if
cracks normal to the longitudinal axis in the tension zone of their sections are available or not.
5.5.5 Ultimate deformations are assumed in accordance with guidelines 8.2.20. Under
permanent and temporary long-term and short-term loads, the deflection of reinforced
concrete members in all cases should not exceed 1/150 of a span and 1/75 of the cantilever
length.

c) γb3 – for concrete and reinforced concrete structures placed in vertical position with the
depth of the concrete pouring layer over 1,5 m multiplied by design resistance value of
concrete Rb, γb3 = 0,85;
d) γb4 – for cellular concrete multiplied by design resistance value of concrete Rb:
γb4 = 1,00 – when moisture content of cellular concrete is 10 % or less;
γb4 = 0,85 – when moisture content of cellular concrete is over 25 %;
26
by interpolation – when moisture content of cellular concrete is over 10 % but less than
25 %.
Effects from alternate freezing and thawing, freezing temperatures are considered by factor

6.1.19 Concrete stress-strain diagrams are used in reinforced concrete members design
based on non-linear deformation model.
Any types of concrete diagrams (corresponding to the concrete behavior) may be used for
design stress-strain diagrams: curved with descending branch (annex А), piecewise linear
(bilinear and trilinear). While diagram parameter points should be provided (maximum stresses
and respective strains, limiting values etc.).
The simplified trilinear and bilinear diagram (figures 6.1, а, b) are assumed for working
stress-strain diagrams of heavy-weight, fine-aggregate and self-stressing concrete defining the
relation between stresses and strains.
6.1.20 According to trilinear diagram (figure 6.1 а) the compressive stresses of concrete σb
due to strains of concrete shortening εb are assumed by the following formulas:
At 0  εb  εb1
σb = Еb  εb,
(6.4)
At εb1 < εb < εb0
(6.5)
At εb0  εb  εb2
σb = Rb.
(6.6)
Stresses σb1 are assumed as follows:
σb1 = 0,6  Rb,
strains εb1 are assumed as follows:
34
а − Trilinear stress-strain diagram of compressive concrete;
b − Bilinear stress-strain diagram of compressive concrete
Figure 6.1 − Stress-strain diagram of compressive concrete
Strains εb2 for heavy-weight, fine-aggregate and self-stressing concrete are assumed:
at short-term loading:
for compressive strength class of concrete В60 and lower εb2 = 0,0035;
for high strength compressive class of concrete В70 - В100 εb2 is assumed according to linear
law from 0,0033 at В70 to 0,0028 at В100;
at long-term loading – according to Table 6.10.
Rb, Еb and εb0 are assumed in compliance with 6.1.11, 6.1.12, 6.1.14, 6.1.15.
35
6.1.21 According to bilinear diagram (figure 6.1, b) compressive stresses of concrete σb due
to strains εb are assumed by the formulas:
at 0  εb  εb1, where
σb = Eb.red  εb;
(6.7)
at εb1  εb  εb2
σ = Rb.
(6.8)
Values of the reduced modulus of concrete deformations Eb,red are assumed as follows:
(6.9)
Strains εb1,red are assumed:
for heavy-weight concrete at short-term loading εb1,red = 0,0015;
for light-weight concrete at short-term loading εb1,red = 0,0022;
for heavy-weight concrete at long-term loading according to Table 6.10.
Rb, εb2 are assumed in compliance with 6.1.20.
6.1.22 Tensile stresses in concrete σbt due to strains εbt are assumed in accordance with
diagrams given in 6.1.20 and 6.1.21. While design values of compressive concrete resistance Rb
are replaced by design values of tensile concrete resistance Rbt according to 6.1.11, 6.1.12,
initial elasticity modulus εbt0 is determined according to 6.1.15, strains εbt0 are assumed
according to 6.1.12, strains εbt2 are assumed for heavy-weight, fine-aggregate and self-stressing
concrete: at short-term loading – εbt2 = 0,00015, at long-term loading – as given in Table 6.10.
For bilinear diagram one assumes εbt1,red = 0,00008 at short-term loading, at long-term loading –
as given in Table 6.10; values Ebt,red are determined by formula (6.10) substituting in it Rbt and
εbt1,red.
6.1.23 In the strength design of reinforced concrete members based on non-linear
deformation model to define stress-strain behavior of the compressive concrete zone, the
stress-strain diagrams of compressive concrete given in 6.1.20 and 6.1.21 with deformation
characteristic satisfying the short-term loading should be used. Bilinear stress-strain diagram of
concrete is used as the simplest one.
6.1.24 In the cracking design of reinforced concrete structures based on non-linear
deformation model to define stress-strain behavior of the compressive and tensile concrete
zone, the trilinear stress-strain diagram given in 6.1.20 and 6.1.22 with deformation
characteristic satisfying the short-term loading should be used. Bilinear diagram (6.1.21), as the
36
simplest one, is used to define stress-strain behavior of the tensile concrete at elastic work of
compressive concrete.
6.1.25 In the deformation analysis of reinforced concrete members based on non-linear
deformation model unless there are cracks to define stress-strain behavior of compressive and
tensile concrete, the trilinear stress-strain diagram of concrete taking into account short-term
and long-term loading should be used. If there are cracks, then to define stress-strain behavior
of compressive concrete apart from using the mentioned above diagram, one uses bilinear
stress-strain diagram of concrete (as the simplest one) taking into account short-term and longterm loading.
6.1.26 In the design of normal crack opening based on non-linear deformation model to
define stress-strain behavior of the compressive concrete, the stress-strain diagram given in
6.1.20 and 6.1.21, taking into account short-term loading, should be used. Bilinear stress-strain
diagram of concrete is used as the simplest one.
6.1.27 Effects from alternate freezing and thawing, freezing temperatures to deformation
characteristics of concrete are considered by factor of concrete service conditions γb5  1,0. For
superstructures subjected to environmental actions at design outdoor temperature in cold
season above −40°С (below zero) one should assume γbt = 1,0. In other cases, values of factor
γbt are assumed according to the functions of the structure and environmental conditions.
6.1.28 Values of strength concrete characteristics at two-dimensional (biaxial) or threedimensional (triaxial) stress behavior should be determined considering concrete type and class
according to parameter which provides relation between ultimate stress values acting in two or
three orthogonally related directions.
Concrete deformations should be determined considering two-dimensional or threedimensional stress behavior.
6.1.29 Concrete matrix characteristics in fibre reinforced structures should be assumed as
for concrete and reinforced concrete structures.
Fibre concrete characteristics in fibre concrete structures should be determined in
accordance with concrete characteristics, composition, shape, dimensions and location of fibres
in concrete, its bond with the concrete, physical and mechanical properties and according to
the dimensions of a member or a structure.
6.2 Reinforcement
6.2.1 While designing reinforced concrete buildings and constructions in compliance with
requirements for concrete and reinforced concrete structures one should establish
reinforcement type, specified and controlled quality parameters.
6.2.2 For reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures one should use reinforcing steel
that meets appropriate standards or specifications approved in compliance with established
procedure and which is available in one of the following forms:
37
hot-rolled plain and ribbed profile with permanent and variable height of ribs (ring and
crescent ribbed profile respectively) with diameter 6 – 50 mm;
thermo mechanically hardened ribbed profile with diameter 6 – 50 mm;
cold-worked ribbed profile with diameter 3 – 16 mm;
reinforcing wires with diameter 6 – 18 mm.
6.2.3 Main quality parameter of reinforcement, set while designing, is tensile strength class
of reinforcement designated as follows:
А – for hot-rolled and thermo mechanically hardened reinforcement;
В, Вр – for cold-worked reinforcement;
К – for reinforcing wires.
The following reinforcing wires are distinguished:
К7, produced from smooth round wire;
К7Т, produced from ribbed profile;
К70, plastically clamped, produced from smooth wires.
Tensile strength classes of reinforcement satisfy absolute reliability of yield strength,
physical or relative (equal to values of stresses that correspond to a residual elongation of 0,1%
or 0,2%) with probability of at least 0,95 assumed in accordance with approved standards.
Besides in necessary cases, reinforcement should meet additional control parameters:
weldability, ductility, cold resistance, corrosion resistance, bond characteristics etc.
6.2.4 For reinforced concrete structures without prestressing, one should mainly use ribbed
profile reinforcement of А400, А500 and А600 classes as design reinforcement and
reinforcement of В500 and Вр500 classes in welded meshes and frames. Reinforcement of
higher classes may be used if economic efficiency is provided.
For transverse and confinement reinforcement, one should mainly use both plain
reinforcement of А240 class of steel grades Ст3сп and Ст3пс (with categories of specified
parameters at least 2 according to GOST 535) and ribbed profile reinforcement of А400, А500,
В500 and Вр500 classes.
For prestressed reinforced concrete structures one should use:
for prestressing reinforcement:
hot-rolled and thermo mechanically hardened of ribbed profile of А600, А800 and А1000
classes;
38
cold-worked of ribbed profile of classes between Вр1200 and Вр1600;
7-wire (К7) of К1400, К1500, К1600, К1700 classes;
for ordinary reinforcement:
hot-rolled plain of А240 class;
hot-rolled, thermo mechanically hardened and cold-worked of ribbed profile of А400, А500,
А600, В500 and Вр500 classes.
6.2.5 When choosing steel type, grade for design reinforcement and rolled steel for fixings,
the temperature service and loading conditions of structures should be considered.
For structures operated at static (and quasistatic) load in heated buildings, in outdoor
conditions and unheated buildings at design temperature above −40°С, one may use
reinforcement of all mentioned above classes except reinforcement of А400 class of steel grade
35ГС, class А240 of steel grade Ст3кп used at design temperature above −30°С.
At design temperature below −55°С one should use reinforcement of Ас500С class according
to [1] and А600 of steel grade 20Г2СФБА.
Reinforcement class and steel grade for other service conditions should be assumed in
accordance with special guidelines.
When designing prestressed transmission zone, anchorage of reinforcement and
reinforcement laps (without welding) the surface of reinforcement should be considered (GOST
Р 52544, [3]).
When designing welded connections of reinforcement, the manufacturing process of
reinforcement should be considered (GOST 14098, [2]).
6.2.6 For lift loops of precast concrete and reinforced concrete structures one should use
hot-rolled reinforcing steel of А240 class of grades Ст3сп and Ст3пс (with categories of
specified parameters at least 2 according to GOST 535).
In case lifting is possible at design temperature in winter below −40°С, steel grade Ст3пс
should not be used for lifting loops.
6.2.7 Main reinforcement strength parameter is characteristic value of tensile resistance Rs,n
assumed in accordance with reinforcement class as given in Table 6.13.
6.2.8 Design values of tensile resistance of reinforcement Rs are determined by the formula:
(6.10)
where γs – reinforcement safety factor assumed equal to 1,15 for first group limit states and
1,0 – for second group limit states.
39
Characteristic values of tensile resistance of reinforcement Rs (rounded off) for first group
limit states are listed in Table 6.14, for second group – in Table 6.13. While values Rs,n for first
group limit states are assumed equal to the least controlled values according to approved
standards.

Values of compressive resistance of reinforcement Rsc are assumed equal to design values of
tensile resistance of reinforcement Rs, but not exceeding the values corresponding to strains of
concrete shortening, adjacent compressive reinforcement: at short-term loading – not more
than 400 MPa, at long-term loading – not more than 500 MPa.
For reinforcement of B500 and A600 classes, the limiting values of compressive resistance
are assumed with the reduction factor of working conditions. Design values Rsc are listed in

6.2.9 In necessary cases design values of strength reinforcement characteristics are
multiplied by service factors γsi which take account of specific features of reinforcement action
in the structure.
Design values Rsw for reinforcement of А240 ... А500, В500 classes are given in Table 6.15.
Design resistance values Rsw for transverse reinforcement of all classes should be assumed
not exceeding 300 MPa.

6.2.10 Main deformation characteristics of reinforcement are values of:
strains of steel elongation εs0 when stresses reach the design resistance Rs;
steel modulus of elasticity Еs.
6.2.11 Relative steel strains εs0 are assumed equal to:
for reinforcement with actual yield strength
(6.11)
41
for reinforcement with notional yield strength
(6.12)
6.2.12 Steel modulus of elasticity Es is assumed the same at tension and compression equal
to:
Еs = 1,95  105 MPa – for reinforcing wires (К);
Es = 2,0  105 MPa – for other types of reinforcement (А and В).
6.2.13 Stress-strain diagrams of reinforcement are used in reinforced concrete members
design with non-linear deformation model.
When designing reinforced concrete elements using non-linear deformation model as design
stress-strain diagram (deformation) of reinforcement which sets relation between stresses σs
and strains εs of reinforcement, one assumes simplified diagrams:
for actual yield strength of reinforcement of А240 - А500, В500 classes – bilinear diagram
(figure 6.2, а)
for notional yield strength of reinforcement of А600 - А1000, Вр1200 - Вр1500, К1400, К1500
and К1600 classes – trilinear (figure 6.2, b), not considering hardenings after yielding.
Stress-strain diagrams of tensile and compressive reinforcement are assumed in the same
way taking into account specified design resistance of tensile and compressive reinforcement.
Curved design diagrams, approximate practical diagrams of reinforcement deformation, may
be used as design stress-strain diagrams of reinforcement.
6.2.14 According to bilinear stress-strain diagram of reinforcement, stresses in
reinforcement σs are determined due to strains εs by the following formulas:
at 0 < εs < εs0
σs = εs  Es;
(6.13)
σs = Rs.
(6.14)
at εs0  εs  εs2
Values εs0, Es and Rs are assumed as given in 6.2.11, 6.2.12 and 6.2.8. Strains εs2 are assumed
equal to 0,025.
Strains εs2 may be assumed less or more than 0,025 depending on steel grade, reinforcement
type, safety criterion of structure and other factors.

6.2.15 Stresses in reinforcement σs according to trilinear stress-strain diagram of
reinforcement are determined due to strains εs by the following formulas:
at 0 < εs < εs1
σs = εs  Es;
(6.15)
at εs1  εs  εs2
(6.16)
Values εs0, Es and Rs are assumed as given in 6.2.11, 6.2.12 and 6.2.8.
Stresses σs1 are assumed equal to 0,9Rs, for σs2 – 1,1Rs.
Strains εs1 are assumed equal to
, εs2 – equal to 0,015.
7 Concrete structures
Structures are considered as concrete if the strength is provided only with concrete.
Concrete elements are applied:
43
a) mainly for compression with the location of the axial compression force within the crosssection;
b) in some cases in compressive structures with the location of the axial compression force
outside the cross-section, also in bending structures when their failure does not have danger
impact to people’s lives and equipment reliability.
Structures with reinforcement are considered as concrete, if reinforcement sectional area is
less than minimum one allowed according to structural requirements 10.3.
7.1 Strength design of concrete members
7.1.1 Strength design of concrete members is performed for axial compression forces,
bending moments, shear forces and local compression.
7.1.2 Strength design of concrete members for axial compression force (eccentric
compression) and bending moment should be performed for cross-sections (sections normal to
the longitudinal axis).
Strength design of concrete members is performed based on non-linear deformation model
according to 8.1.20 - 8.1.30, assuming reinforcement area in design equal to zero. Concrete
members of rectangular and T-section may be designed on the basis of ultimate forces
according to 7.1.7 - 7.1.12, where forces occur in the plane of symmetry of a normal section.
7.1.3 Concrete members depending on the service conditions and requirements should be
calculated for sections normal to the ultimate forces. The calculation may or may not consider
the strength of concrete in the tension zone.
The resistance of concrete in the tension zone (figure 7.1) may be neglected in the design of
eccentrically compressed members when axial compression force is located within the crosssection, assuming that the limit state is characterized by failure of compressive concrete. In the
ultimate forces design, the compressive concrete resistance is presented conventionally by
stresses equal to Rb uniformly distributed over a part of the compressive zone (notional
compressive zone) with the centroid coinciding with the point where axial force is applied
(7.1.9).
The resistance of concrete in the tension zone (figure 7.2) should be taken into account in
the design of compressed members when axial compression force is located outside the crosssection, bending members and of the members where no cracking is permitted due to service
conditions of structures. In the ultimate forces design, one assumes that the limit state is
characterized by achievement of ultimate forces in the tension zone of concrete, determined
on the assumption of elastic concrete behavior (7.1.9, 7.1.10, 7.1.12).
44

compressed member that is calculated neglecting concrete resistance in the tension zone
Figure 7.2 – Scheme of forces and stress diagram in a cross-section of a bending
(eccentrically compressed) concrete member, that is calculated taking account of concrete
resistance in the tension zone
7.1.4 Strength design of concrete members for shear forces is performed taking into account
that ratio sum of main tensile stress to design axial tensile resistance of concrete
main compressive stress to design axial compressive resistance of concrete
exceed 1,0.
and
should not
7.1.5 Strength design of concrete members for local loading (local compression) is
performed according to 8.1.43 − 8.1.45.
7.1.6 Structural reinforcement should be applied for concrete members in cases stated in
10.3.7.
45
Ultimate forces design of eccentrically compressed concrete members
7.1.7 In the strength design of eccentrically compressed concrete members for compression
axial force one should take into account the accidental eccentricity еа, assumed not less than:
1
/600 of the length of a member or the distance between its sections adjoined from the
displacement;
1
/30 of the section height;
10 mm.
For members of statically indeterminate structures, eccentricity е0 of the axial force relative
to the centroid of the reduced section is taken equal to the eccentricity obtained from static
design but not less than еa.
For members of statically determinate structures, the eccentricity е0 is taken equal to the
sum of the eccentricities – accidental eccentricity еa and calculated from the static design.
7.1.8 When the slenderness ratio of the members is
> 14, it is necessary to consider the
effects of deflections on bearing capacity by multiplying e0 by coefficient η, determined
according to 7.1.11.
7.1.9 Design of eccentrically compressed concrete members with the location of the axial
compression force within the cross-section is performed considering
N  Rb  Ab,
(7.1)
where N – acting axial force;
Аb – area of concrete compression zone determined considering that its centroid coincides
with the point where axial force N is applied (taking into account the deflection).
For rectangular section members
(7.2)
Design of eccentrically compressed members for rectangular sections is permitted at
eccentricity of axial force e0  h/30 and l0  20h and may be performed considering
N  φ  Rb  A,
(7.3)
where А – cross-sectional area of a member;
46
φ – coefficient assumed at long-term loading as given in Table 7.1 according to member
slenderness
, at short-term loading φ is determined by linear law, assuming φ = 0,9 at
10 and φ = 0,85 at
=
= 20;
l0 – member design length, determined the same as for reinforced concrete members.

Eccentrically compressed concrete members, where no cracking is permitted due to service
conditions irrespective of design based on (7.1), should be verified considering concrete
resistance in the tension zone as follows
(7.4)
For members with rectangular section, the condition (7.4) is the following
(7.5)
In formulas (7.4) and (7.5):
А – cross-sectional area of a concrete member;
I – second moment of area of a concrete member about its centroid;

Strength design of reinforced concrete members is performed for bending moments, axial
forces, shear forces, torsional moments and local loading (local compression, punching).
Strength design of reinforced concrete members for bending moments and axial forces
Basic provisions
8.1.1 Strength design of reinforced concrete members for bending moments and axial forces
(eccentrically compression or tension) should be performed for cross-sections.
Strength design of normal sections of reinforced concrete members should be performed
using non-linear deformation model according to 8.1.20 - 8.1.30.
Design based on ultimate forces is permitted for:
reinforced concrete members of rectangular, T-section and I-section with reinforcement
provided at the sides of the member perpendicular to the plane of bending, when the forces
act in the plane of symmetry of normal sections according to 8.1.4 - 8.1.16;
48
eccentrically compressed members of circular and ring cross-sections – in compliance with
guidelines of Annex Г.
8.1.2 For eccentrically compressed members one should take into account the effect of
longitudinal bending to their bearing capacity, generally by applying deformation analysis.
Non-deformation analysis is permitted when the slenderness ratio is l0/i > 14, in this case it is
necessary to consider the effects of deflections on bearing capacity by multiplying e0 by the
coefficient η, determined according to 8.1.15.
8.1.3 For reinforced concrete members when ultimate force by ULS is less than ultimate
force by cracking (8.2.8 - 8.2.14), the sectional area of longitudinal tensile reinforcement should
be increased to 15% comparing to one required for strength design or it should be determined
from strength design for ultimate force by cracking.
Strength design of normal sections by ultimate forces
8.1.4 Ultimate forces in a cross-section should be determined according to the following
assumptions:
tensile resistance of concrete is assumed equal to 0;
compressive resistance of concrete is represented by stresses equal to Rb and uniformly
distributed over the compression zone of concrete;
strains (stresses) in reinforcement are determined according to the height of the
compression zone of concrete;
tensile stresses in reinforcement are assumed not to exceed design tensile resistance Rs;
compressive stresses in reinforcement are assumed not to exceed design compressive
resistance Rsc.
8.1.5 Strength design of normal sections should be performed according to the ratio of the
relative height of the compression zone of concrete
(determined from appropriate
equilibrium expressions) to the relative height of the compression zone ξR where the limit state
of the member is reached simultaneously with the stress in the tensile reinforcement equal to
the design resistance Rs.
8.1.6 Values of ξR are determined as follows
(8.1)
where εs,el – strains of tensile reinforcement at stresses equal to Rs
49
(8.2)
εb2 – strains of compressive reinforcement at stresses equal to Rb, assumed in compliance
with 6.1.20.
For heavy-weight concrete of В70 - В100 classes and for fine-aggregate concrete in
numerator of formula (8.1), one should assume 0,7 instead of 0,8.
8.1.7 In the strength design of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete members with
regard to initial eccentricity of axial force е0, one should take into account the accidental
eccentricity еа, assumed not less than:
1
/600 of the length of a member or the distance between its sections adjoined from the
displacement;
1
/30 of the section height;
10 mm.
For members of statically indeterminate structures the eccentricity е0 of axial force relative
to the centroid of the reduced section is taken equal to the eccentricity, obtained from static
design but not less than еa.
For members of statically determinate structures the eccentricity е0 is taken equal to the
sum of the eccentricities – accidental eccentricity еa and calculated from static design.

Mult = Rb  b  x(h0 - 0,5x) + Rsc  A's  (h0 - a'),
(8.4)
while height of the compression zone х is determined by the following formula
(8.5)
50
8.1.10 Values of Mult for bending members with a compressed flange (T-section and Isection) at

compression zone as follows:
а) if the boundary passes within the flange (figure 8.2, а), i.e the condition is satisfied
Rs  As  Rb  b'f  h'f + Rsc  A's,
(8.6)
Mult is determined according to 8.1.9 as for a rectangular section with a width b'f;
b) if the boundary passes in the rib (figure 8.2, b), i.e. the condition (8.6) is not satisfied, Mult
is determined as follows

8.1.11 The value b'f to be introduced in the design, should be assumed on condition that the
flange overhangs width on either side of the rib is not more than 1/6 of the member span and
should not exceed:

3h'f at 0,05h  h'f < 0,1h;
the overhangs are neglected at h'f < 0,05h.
8.1.12 For strength design of bending members it is recommended to satisfy the condition
x  ξR  h0.
In case tensile reinforcement area is taken larger than required to satisfy the condition
x  ξR  h0 for structural considerations or on the basis of second group limit states design, the
calculations of Mult may be carried out by formulas (8.4) or (8.7) substituting the values of the
compression zone height as follows x = ξR  h0.
8.1.13 For symmetrical reinforcement when Rs  A = Rsc  A's, the value Мult is determined by
the formula
52
Mult = Rs  As(h0 - a').
(8.9)
If the height of the compression zone is the following х < 2а' (calculated neglecting
compressive reinforcement (A's = 0)), then one should assume x/2 instead of а' in formula (8.9).

reinforcement located at the opposite section sides respectively to the plane of bending, with
eccentricity of axial force е0  h/30 and slenderness l0/h  20, may be carried out according to
the following condition
N  Nult,
(8.16)
where Nult – ultimate axial force that may be sustained by a member, determined by the
formula

(8.17)
Here А – sectional area of concrete;
As.tot – total longitudinal reinforcement area in a section;
φ – coefficient assumed at long-term loading according to Table 8.1 according to element

(8.19)
where As,tot − cross-sectional area of all longitudinal reinforcement.

Strength design of normal sections based on non-linear deformation model
8.1.20 In the strength design, forces and deformations in a cross-section should be
determined according to non-linear deformation model using equilibrium expressions of
internal and external forces in the section and the following statements:
distribution of concrete and reinforcement strains along the sectional height is assumed
according to the linear law (flat cross-section hypothesis);
relation between axial stresses and strains of concrete and reinforcement is assumed in
terms of stress-strain diagrams (deformation) of concrete and reinforcement;
58
resistance of concrete in the tension zone may be neglected assuming stresses σbi = 0 at
εbi  0. In some cases (i.e. bending and eccentrically compressive concrete structures where
cracking is not allowed) strength design is performed considering action of tensile concrete.
8.1.21 To determine generalized internal forces based on stress diagram in concrete, one
should perform numerical integration of stresses of a normal section. While normal crosssection is conventionally divided into small areas: at biaxial eccentric compression (tension) and
biaxial bending – along the sectional height and width; at eccentric compression (tension) and
bending in the plane of symmetry of cross-section – only along the sectional height. Stresses
within the small areas are assumed as uniformly distributed (average).
8.1.22 While designing members using deformation model one assumes:
“minus” sign for axial compression force, compressive stresses and shortening strains of
concrete and reinforcement;
“plus” sign for axial tension force, tensile stresses and elongation strains of concrete and
reinforcement.
Coordinate signs of centroids of rebars and divided concrete areas, as well as application
points of axial force, are assumed in compliance with assigned coordinate system ХОY.
Generally the origin of coordinates (point O at the figure 8.5) is placed in random place within
the cross-sectional area.
Figure 8.5 – Design scheme of a normal section of reinforced concrete member
8.1.23 While strength design of normal sections in general case (see figure 8.5) one uses:
59

within the cross-section (in planes XOZ and YOZ or parallel to them), determined by the
following formulas:

the plane of bending moments Мх and Му;
60
Еb – initial elasticity modulus of concrete;
Esj – elasticity modulus of the j rebar;
vbi – elasticity coefficient of concrete of the i area;
vsj – elasticity coefficient of the j rebar.
Coefficients vbi and vsj are assumed in accordance with the respective stress-strain diagrams
of concrete and reinforcement stated in 6.1.19, 6.2.13.
Coefficients vbi and vsj are defined as the ratio of stresses to strains for the referred points of
stress-strain diagrams of concrete and steel, assumed in the design, divided by elasticity
modulus of concrete Еb and reinforcement Еs (for bilinear diagram of concrete – by reduced
deformation modulus of compressive concrete Еb,red). Stress-strain relations (6.5) - (6.9), (6.14)
and (6.15) are used for the referred fragments of diagrams.
(8.35)
(8.36)
8.1.24 Strength design of normal sections of reinforced concrete members is carried out
considering the following conditions:
|εb,max|  εb,ult;
(8.37)
εs,max  εs,ult,
(8.38)
where εb,max – strain of the most compressive concrete fibre in the normal section due to
external load;

εb,ult – ultimate strain of compressive concrete assumed in accordance with 8.1.30;
εs,ult – ultimate strain of reinforcement elongation assumed in accordance with 8.1.30.
8.1.25 For reinforced concrete members subjected to bending moments of two directions
and axial force (figure 8.5), the strains of concrete εb,max and reinforcement εs,max in normal
section with arbitrary shape are determined from system of equations (8.39) - (8.41) using
expressions (8.29) and (8.30)
(8.39)
(8.40)
61
(8.41)
Rigidity characteristics Dij (i,j - 1, 2, 3) in system of equations (8.39) - (8.41) are determined

Symbols in the formulas – see 8.1.23.
8.1.26 For reinforced concrete members subjected only to bending moments of two
directions Мх and Му (biaxial bending) one should assume in expression (8.41) N = 0
8.1.27 For eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete members in the plane of crosssection symmetry and when X-axis passes in this plane, one should assume Му = 0 and D12 = D22
= D23 = 0. In this case equilibrium expressions are determined as follows:
8.1.28 For bending reinforced concrete members in the plane of cross-section symmetry and
when X-axis passes in the plane N = 0, Му = 0 and D12 = D22 = D23 = 0. In this case equilibrium

(8.51)
62
8.1.29 Strength design of normal sections of eccentrically compressed concrete members
with the location of axial compression force within the cross-section of the member, is
performed from condition (8.37) according to 8.1.24 - 8.1.28, assuming (in formulas 8.1.25)
reinforcement area Asj = 0 to determine Dij.
For bending and eccentrically compressed concrete members where no cracking is
permitted, the design should be performed taking account of tensile concrete work in crosssection of the member satisfying the condition
εbt,max  εbt,ult,
(8.52)
where εbt,max – strain of the most tensioned concrete fibre in the normal section due to
external load determined in accordance with 8.1.25 - 8.1.28;
εbt,ult – ultimate strain of tensile concrete determined in accordance with 8.1.30.
8.1.30 Ultimate strains of concrete εb,ult (εbt,ult) are assumed at two-sign strain diagram
(compression – tension) in concrete cross-section (bending, eccentric compression or tension
with high eccentricities) equal to εb2 (εbt2).
In case of eccentric compression or tension, if strain signs in the cross-section are similar,
then ultimate strains of concrete εb,ult (εbt,ult) are determined according to the ratio of concrete
strains on the opposite sides of ε1 and ε2 (|ε2|  |ε1|) by the following formulas:
where εb0, εbt0, εb2 and εbt2 – strain parameters of design stress-strain diagram of concrete
(6.1.14, 6.1.20, 6.1.22).
Ultimate strains of reinforcement εs,ult are assumed equal to:
0,025 – for reinforcement with actual yield line;
0,015 – for reinforcement with notional yield line.
Strength design of reinforced concrete members for shear forces
Basic provisions
8.1.31 Strength design of reinforced concrete members for shear forces is based on model of
inclined sections.
In the design based on model of inclined sections, one should provide member strength of a
strip between inclined sections and inclined section for shear forces, and strength of inclined
section for moment.
63
The strength of inclined strip is characterized by maximum value of shear force, which may
be sustained by inclined strip subjected to compressive forces along the strip and tensile forces
due to transverse reinforcement crossing the inclined strip. While concrete strength is
determined equal to axial compressive resistance of concrete taking account of combined
stress state in the inclined strip.
Inclined section analysis for shear forces is performed based on the equilibrium expression
of internal and external shear forces acting in the inclined section with projection length C on
the longitudinal axis of a member. Internal shear forces include shear force sustained by
concrete in the inclined section and shear force, sustained by transverse reinforcement crossing
the inclined section. While shear forces sustained by concrete and transverse reinforcement are
determined according to tensile resistance of concrete and reinforcement taking account of
projection length C of the inclined section.
Inclined section analysis for moment is performed based on the equilibrium expression of
internal and external forces acting in the inclined section with projection length C on the
longitudinal axis of a member. Moments due to internal forces include a moment sustained by
longitudinal tensile reinforcement crossing the inclined section, and moment sustained by
transverse reinforcement crossing the inclined section. While moments sustained by
longitudinal and transverse reinforcement are determined according to tensile resistance of
longitudinal and transverse reinforcement taking account of projection length C of the inclined
section.
Reinforced concrete member analysis of a strip between inclined sections
8.1.32 Analysis of bending reinforced concrete members of a concrete strip between
inclined sections is performed considering the following condition
Q  φb1  Rb  b  h0,
(8.55)
where Q – shear force in a normal section of a member;
φb1 – coefficient assumed equal to 0,3.
Verification of inclined sections for shear forces
8.1.33 Verification of inclined sections of bending members (figure 8.6) is performed
considering:
Q  Qb + Qsw,
(8.56)
where Q – shear force in an inclined section with projection length С on the longitudinal axis
of a member determined due to all external loads located at the same side of the referred
inclined section; while the most critical loading within the inclined section should be
considered;
Qb – shear force sustained by concrete in an inclined section;
64
Qsw – shear force sustained by transverse reinforcement in an inclined section.
Shear force Qb is determined as follows
(8.57)
but assumed not more than 2,5Rbt  b  h0 and not less than 0,5Rbt  b  h0;
φb2 – coefficient assumed equal to 1,5.
Figure 8.6 – Scheme of forces at the design of reinforced concrete members of an inclined
section for shear forces
Force Qsw for transverse reinforcement normal to the longitudinal axis of a member is
determined by the formula
Qsw = φsw  qsw  C,
(8.58)
where φsw – coefficient assumed equal to 0,75;
qsw – force in transverse reinforcement per unit length of a member equal to
(8.59)
The verification is performed for inclined sections placed along the length of a member at
the most critical projection length of the inclined section С. While projection length С in formula
(8.58) is assumed not less than 1,0h0 and not more than 2,0 h0.
Inclined sections may be verified, neglecting inclined sections at determining shear force due
to external load, from the condition:
Q1  Qb1 + Qsw,1,
(8.60)
where Q1 – shear force in a normal section due to external load;
Qb1 = 0,5Rbt  b  h0;
(8.61)
65
Qsw,1 = qsw  h0.
(8.62)
When normal section, considering shear force Q1, is placed close to the support at the
distance а less than 2,5 h0, the verification from condition (8.60) is carried out by multiplying
Qb1 (determined by formula (8.61)) by coefficient equal to
, but Qb1 is assumed not more
than 2,5 Rbt  b  h0.
When normal section, considering shear force Q1, is placed at the distance а less than h0, the
verification from condition (8.60) is carried out by multiplying Qsw,1 (determined by formula
(8.62)) by coefficient equal to a/h0.
Transverse reinforcement is considered in the design if the following condition is satisfied:
qsw  0,25Rbt  b.
In case this condition is not satisfied, transverse reinforcement may be considered if the
following is assumed in (8.56)
Qb = 4φb2  h02  qsw/C.
Spacing of transverse reinforcement sw/h0, taken into account in the design, should not
exceed:
.
When no transverse reinforcement is available or if structural requirements listed in 10.3 or
those mentioned above failed, then the design is performed from conditions (8.56) or (8.60)
assuming forces Qsw or Qsw,1 equal to 0.
Transverse reinforcement should meet structural requirements listed in 10.3.
8.1.34 Effect of compressive and tensile stresses in the verification of a strip between
inclined sections and of inclined sections should be considered by multiplying the coefficient φn
by the second member of the following conditions (8.55), (8.56) or (8.60).
Values of φn are assumed equal to:
at 0  σcp  0,25Rb;
1,25
at 0,25Rb  σср  0,75Rb;
at 0,75Rb  σср  Rb;
at 0  σt  2Rbt,
66
where σср – average compressive stress in concrete due to actions of axial forces assumed to
be positive. σср is assumed as average stress in the section of a member considering
reinforcement.
σt – average tensile stress in concrete due to actions of axial forces assumed to be positive.
Values of σcp and σt are assumed as average stresses in sections. σcp and σt may be assumed
not considering reinforcement, if longitudinal reinforcement ratio is not more than 3%.
Verification of inclined sections of reinforced concrete members for moments
8.1.35 Verification of inclined sections of reinforced concrete members for moments (figure
8.7) is carried out considering
M  Ms + Msw,
(8.63)
where М − moment in an inclined section with projection length С on the longitudinal axis of
a member determined from all external loads located at the same side of the referred inclined
section relative to the inclined section end (point O), opposite to the end where the examined

torsional moments is performed based on model of spatial sections.
In the design based on model of spatial sections, one should consider sections formed by
inclined lines, passing on three tensile sides of a member, and closing line passing on the fourth
compressive side.
The design of reinforced concrete members for torsional moments is performed with regard
to strength of spatial sections and a member between them.
Concrete strength between spatial sections is characterized by maximum values of torsional
moment determined by axial tensile resistance of concrete considering stress state in concrete
between spatial sections.
Analysis of spatial sections is performed based on equilibrium expressions of all internal and
external forces about an axis in the centre of the compression zone of the spatial section.
Internal moments include moment sustained by rebars passing along the member axis; rebars
passing across the member axis, crossing the spatial section and placed in the tension zone of
the spatial section and at the tension member side opposite to the compression zone of the
spatial section. While forces sustained by reinforcement are determined corresponding to
design values of tensile resistance of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement.
All positions of a spatial section should be considered in the design, assuming compression
zone of the spatial section at bottom, lateral and top sides of a member.
Analysis for combined torsional and bending moments, as well as torsional and shear forces
is performed according to equilibrium expressions between the respective force factors.

Q0 – ultimate shear force sustained by an inclined section.
In the design for combined torsional moment and shear force, the spatial section with
tensile reinforcement should be considered, when it (tensile reinforcement) is located at one
tensile side due to shear force, i.e. at the side parallel to the plane of shear force.
Torsional moment T due to external load is determined in a normal section located in the
middle of the projection length C along the longitudinal axis of a member. Shear force Q due to
external load is determined in the normal section as well.
Ultimate torsional moment T0 is determined according to 8.1.38 and assumed equal to the
second member of condition (8.67) (equal to Tsw + Ts) for the referred spatial section.
Ultimate shear force Q0 is determined according to 8.1.33 and assumed equal to the second

Design of reinforced concrete members for local compression
8.1.43 Design of reinforced concrete members for local compression is performed when
compressive force is applied at confined area normal to the surface of a reinforced concrete
member. While one should take into account the increased resistance of compressive concrete
within the load area (bearing surface area) considering three-dimensional stress mode of
concrete under load area depending on location of the load area at the member surface.
With confinement reinforcement available in the local compression zone, one should take
into account additional increased resistance of compressive concrete under the load area
considering confinement reinforcement resistance.
When no confinement reinforcement is available, the design of members for local
compression is performed in compliance with 8.1.44, when confinement reinforcement is
available – in compliance with 8.1.45.

(8.83)
where Rbs,loc – equivalent design resistance of compressive concrete taking account of
confinement reinforcement in the compression zone, determined by the following formula
Rbs,loc = Rb,loc + 2  φs,ху  Rs,xy  μs,ху.
(8.84)

member of condition (8.80)).
Confinement reinforcement should meet structural requirements, listed in 10.3.
Punching design of reinforced concrete members
Basic provisions
8.1.46 Punching design is performed for plane reinforced concrete members (slabs)
subjected by (normally to the plane of a member) local concentrated forces – concentrated
forces and bending moment.
In the punching design one should consider design cross-section, located around the load
area to the member at the distance h0/2 normally to its longitudinal axis. Shear forces due to
concentrated forces and bending moment act along the design cross-sectional surface (figure
8.10).
76
Acting shear forces on design cross-sectional area should be sustained by concrete with axial
tensile resistance of concrete Rbt and transverse reinforcement located from the load area at
the distance not more than h0 and not less than h0/3, with tensile resistance Rsw.
Where concentrated forces occur, shear forces sustained by concrete and reinforcement are
assumed as uniformly distributed on total design cross-sectional area. Where bending moment
occur, shear forces sustained by concrete and transverse reinforcement are assumed as linearly
variable along the design cross-sectional length in the direction of the moment action with
maximum shear forces of the opposite sign at the edges of the design cross-section in this
direction.
Figure 8.10 – Notional model for punching design
Punching design for concentrated force without transverse reinforcement is performed
according to 8.1.47, for concentrated force with transverse reinforcement – according to
8.1.48, for concentrated force and bending moment without transverse reinforcement –
according to 8.1.49, for concentrated force, bending moment with transverse reinforcement –
according to 8.1.50.
Design cross-section contour is assumed when:
load area is within a plane member – closed and located around the load area (figure 8.11, а,
d)
load area is at the edges or at the corner of a plane member – two variants are under
consideration: closed and located around the load area and unclosed with the ends of contour
at the edges of a plane member (figure 8.11, b, c). In this case one should consider the
minimum bearing capacity of two variants.
In case opening is placed in a slab at the distance less than 6 h from the corner or edge of
the load area to the corner or edge of opening, the design contour fragment located between
two tangent lines to the opening starting from the centroid of the load area, is not considered
in the analysis.
Where moment Мloс occurs in the application point of the concentrated load, the half of the
moment is considered in the punching design, another half – in the design of normal sections
77
over the sectional width including the load area width and sectional height of a plane member
in both directions from the load area.
In strength conditions where concentrated moments and forces occur, the ratio between
acting concentrated moments М being considered at punching, and ultimate moments Mult, is
assumed not more than half of the ratio between concentrated force F and ultimate force Fult.
With the concentrated force located eccentrically about the centroid of the design crosssection contour, the values of bending concentrated moments due to external load are
determined taking account of additional moment due to eccentric application of concentrated
force about the centroid of design cross-section contour with positive or reverse sign to
moments in column.

Force Fb,ult is determined as follows
Fb,ult = Rbt  Аb,
(8.88)
where Аb – design cross-sectional area located at the distance of 0,5h0 from the boundary of
concentrated force F application area with the effective sectional height h0 (figure 8.12).
79

member and located uniformly along the design cross-section contour, determined by the
formula
Fsw,ult = 0,8qsw  u,
(8.91)
where qsw – force in transverse reinforcement per unit length of the design cross-section
contour, located within the distance 0,5h0 from both parts of the contour design section

Asw – sectional area of transverse reinforcement with spacing sw, located within the distance
0,5h0 from both parts of design cross-section contour along its perimeter;
и – perimeter of the design cross-section contour, determined according to 8.1.47.
When transverse reinforcement is placed non-uniformly along the design cross-section
contour and concentrated at load area axes (cruciform location of transverse reinforcement),
then contour perimeter и for transverse reinforcement is assumed according to the actual
lengths of transverse reinforcement zones Lswx and Lswy according to design punching contour
(figure 8.11, d).
Value of Fb,ult + Fsw,ult is assumed not more than 2Fb,ult. Transverse reinforcement is
considered in the analysis if Fsw,ult is not less than 0,25Fb,ult.
Outside the boundary of transverse reinforcement, the punching design is performed
according to 8.1.47, considering design cross-section contour at the distance of 0,5h0 from the
boundary of transverse reinforcement (figure 8.13). When transverse reinforcement is
81
concentrated at load area axes, the design cross-section contour of concrete is assumed along
diagonal lines joining the boundary angles of the transverse reinforcement (figure 8.11, d).
Transverse reinforcement should meet structural requirements listed in 10.3. If these
requirements are violated, punching design should consider only transverse reinforcement
crossing fracture plane, if its anchorage conditions are provided.

83
Punching design for concentrated forces and bending moment
8.1.49 Punching design of members without transverse reinforcement for combined action
of concentrated forces and bending moment (see figure 8.12) is performed as follows
(8.93)
where F – concentrated force due to external load;
М − concentrated bending moment due to external load; being considered while punching
design (8.1.46);
Fb,ult and Mb,ult – ultimate concentrated force and bending moment which may be sustained
by concrete in the design cross-section at their separate action.
In reinforced concrete building frame with plane slabs, the concentrated bending moment

the slab in the referred joint.
Ultimate force Fb,ult is determined according to 8.1.47.
Ultimate bending moment Мb,ult is determined as follows
Мb,ult = Rbt  Wb  h0.
(8.94)
where Wb – section modulus of the design cross-section, determined according to 8.1.51.
Design, where bending moments occur in two orthogonally related planes, is carried out
considering
(8.95)
where F, Mx and My – concentrated force and bending moments in X- and Y- directions,
considered at punching design (8.1.46), due to external load;
Fb,ult, Mbx,ult, Mby,ult – ultimate concentrated force and bending moments in X- and Ydirections, which may be sustained by concrete in the design cross-section at their separate
action.

Fb,ult, Mbx,ult, Mby,ult and Fsw,ult are determined in compliance with 8.1.48 и 8.1.49.
Forces Msw,x,ult and Msw,y,ult, sustained by transverse reinforcement normal to the longitudinal
axis of a member and uniformly located along design section contour, are determined due to
bending moment in X- and Y- directions by the following formula
Msw,ult = 0,8  qsw  Wsw,
(8.97)
where qsw and Wsw – are determined according to 8.1.48 and 8.1.51.
Values Fb,ult + Fsw,ult, Mbx,ult +Msw,x,ult, Mby,ult + Msw,y,ult in condition (8.96) are assumed not
more than 2Fb,ult, 2Мbх,ult, 2Мby,ult respectively.
Transverse reinforcement should meet structural requirements listed in 10.3. If these
requirements are violated, punching design should consider transverse reinforcement crossing
fracture plane, if anchorage requirements are provided.
8.1.51 In general, section modulus of the design concrete contour at punching Wbx(y) in

cross-section contour about central axes passing through the centroid of the design contour
with notional width of each fragment equal to 1.
The position of the centroid of the design contour about the chosen axis is determined by
the formula
85
(8.99)
where Li – length of a separate design contour fragment;
xi(уi)0 – distance between centroids of separate design contour fragments and chosen axes.
Least values of section modulus Wbx and Wby are to be assumed while calculations.
Section modulus of the design contour for columns with circular section is determined by
the following formula

8.1.52 In case transverse reinforcement is located uniformly along the design punching

concrete punching contour (see figure 8.13), the values of transverse reinforcement section
modulus at punching Wsw,x(y) are assumed equal to the respective values of Wbx and Wby.
When transverse reinforcement is concentrated in the plane member along the axes of load
area, i.e. along column axes (cruciform location of transverse reinforcement in the floor),
section moduli of transverse reinforcement are determined by the same rules as for section
moduli of concrete, assuming the respective actual length of transverse reinforcement
bounded zone along the punching design contour Lswx and Lswy (figure 8.11, d).
Strength design of plane reinforced concrete slabs and walls
8.1.53 Strength design of plane slabs, roof and foundation slabs should be performed as

orthogonally related axes and bending elements applied at lateral sides of a plane separated
element; and for axial and shear forces applied at lateral sides of a plane element (figure 8.14).
Besides, when plane slabs are supported by columns, it is necessary to perform punching

Strength design of a plane member of slabs may be performed without division into layers of
concrete and tensile reinforcement for interaction of bending and torsional moments from

87
where Мх, Му, Мху – bending and torsional moments applied to the separated plane
member;
Mx,ult, My,ult, Mxy,ult – ultimate bending and torsional moments sustained by plane separated

Ultimate bending moments Mx,ult and My,ult should be determined based on the analysis of
normal sections perpendicular to X and Y axes, plane separated element with longitudinal
reinforcement parallel to X and Y axes in accordance with guidelines 8.1.1 - 8.1.13.
Ultimate torsional moments should be determined by concrete Mbxy,ult and longitudinal

In case axial force is applied to the separated plane member, the design is performed the
same as for the separated plane member of walls, according to 8.1.57.

(8.106)
where Qx and Qy – shear forces applied at lateral sides of the separated plane member;
Qx,ult and Qy,ult – ultimate shear forces sustained by the separated plane member.
Ultimate shear forces are determined as follows:

(8.107)
where Qb and Qsw – ultimate shear forces sustained by concrete and transverse
reinforcement respectively, determined by the formulas:
Qb = 0,5Rbtbh0;
(8.108)
Qsw = qswh0,
(8.109)
where qsw – transverse reinforcement intensity, determined by formula (8.59).
88

element into layers of compressive concrete and tensile reinforcement and analysis of each
layer for normal and shear forces due to bending and torsional moments, common normal and

Analysis may be performed without division into layers of concrete and tensile

out of plane of wall for combined action of bending moments, torsional moments and axial
forces;
and in plane of wall for combined action of axial and shear forces.
Analysis of a wall in the plane is recommended to be performed according to generalized

In tight cases it is permitted to place rebars in groups – bundles (without a gap between
them). At the same time the clear distance between bundles should be not less than the
reduced rebar diameter. The reduced rebar diameter is equal to section area of bundled bars

Longitudinal reinforcement
10.3.6 The sectional area of longitudinal tensile reinforcement, as well as compressive if it is
required for the analysis, in reinforced concrete members is limited to the reinforcement
percent. The reinforcement percent is the ratio of the sectional area of longitudinal tensile
reinforcement to the sectional area of concrete: s 

In elements with longitudinal reinforcement uniformly located along the outline of the
section and in centrally tensioned elements, the minimum sectional area of all longitudinal
reinforcement should be two times more than stated above values and should be referred to
the total area of concrete section.
10.3.7 Structural reinforcement should be used in concrete structures:
in the places with a sudden size change of member sections;
in concrete walls under and above the openings;
in eccentrically compressed elements calculated by strength neglecting tension concrete
work, at sides with tensile stresses; while reinforcement ratio s is not less than 0,025 %.
10.3.8 Maximum distances between axes of longitudinal rebars (providing effective work of
concrete, uniform distribution of stresses and deformations and the limitation of crack opening
displacement between rebars) in reinforced concrete linear structures and slabs, should be not
more than:
in beams and slabs:
200 mm — with the height of the cross-section h  150 mm;
1,5h or 400 mm — with the height of the cross-section h > 150 mm;
in reinforced concrete columns:
400 mm — in the direction perpendicular to the direction of bending;
500 mm — in the direction of bending.
In reinforced concrete walls the distances between vertical rebars are assumed not more
than 2t or 400 mm (t —thickness of the wall), and horizontal — not more than 400 mm.
10.3.9 In beams and ribs with the width of more than 150 mm the amount of longitudinal
effective tensile rebars in the cross-section should be not less than two. If the width of the
member is 150 mm or less, then one longitudinal bar is allowed in the cross-section.
126
10.3.10 The longitudinal effective rebars should be extended to support in beams. The
sectional area of extending bars should be not less than 1/2 of the sectional area of rebars in a
span and not less than two rebars.
The longitudinal effective rebars should be extended to support in slabs (to 1 m of the slab
width) with sectional area not less than 1/3 of the sectional area of rebars (to 1 m of the slab
width) in a span.
Transverse reinforcement
10.3.11 Transverse reinforcement should be set to sustain the respective forces, to provide
strength, reduce crack growth, hold longitudinal rebars in the designed position and prevent
them from buckling in any direction.
Transverse reinforcement is provided at all surfaces of reinforced concrete members,
longitudinal reinforcement is provided in close proximity.
10.3.12 The diameter of transverse reinforcement (stirrups) in tied assemblies of
eccentrically compressed members is not less than 0,25 of the larger diameter of longitudinal
reinforcement and not less than 6 mm.
The diameter of transverse reinforcement in tied assemblies of bending elements is not less
than 6 mm.
The diameter of the transverse reinforcement in welded frames should be not less than the
diameter set from welding condition with the larger diameter of longitudinal reinforcement.
10.3.13 In reinforced concrete members where design shear force cannot be sustained only
by concrete, the transverse reinforcement is to be placed with spacing not more than 0,5h0 and
not more than 300 mm.
In solid and multiribbed slabs with height less than 300 mm and in beams (ribs) with height
less than 150 mm in fragments where design shear force is sustained only by concrete, the
transverse reinforcement may not be placed.
In beams and ribs with height of 150 mm and more, as well as in multiribbed slabs with
height over 300 mm in fragments where design shear force is sustained only by concrete, the
transverse reinforcement is to be placed with spacing not more than 0,75h0 and not more than
500 mm.
10.3.14 Transverse reinforcement is to be placed with spacing not more than 15d or not
more than 500 mm (d — diameter of the compressive longitudinal reinforcement) in
eccentrically compressed linear members and bending members (if analysis requires
compression longitudinal reinforcement) to avoid longitudinal reinforcement buckling.
If the sectional area of compressive longitudinal reinforcement (placed at one of the
member sides) is more than 1,5 %, then transverse reinforcement is to be placed with spacing
not more than 10d and not more than 300 mm.
127
10.3.15 Stirrup configuration in eccentrically compressed linear elements should be designed
so that longitudinal bars (at least every other bar) would be present at the stirrup bends. And
the bends themselves would be spaced with not more than 400 mm within the width of the
member side. All longitudinal bars may be bound by one stirrup where the width of the side is
less than 400 mm and if there are not more than four longitudinal bars in a section.
10.3.16 Transverse reinforcement (stirrups) should make a closed contour in elements which
are subject to a torsional moment.
10.3.17 Transverse reinforcement should be placed in the punching area of slabs (in
perpendicular to design contour direction) with spacing not more than 1/3 h0 or not more than
300 mm. The bars close to the tributary area should be spaced not closer than h0/3 or not
further than h0/2 from its contour. The width of the transverse reinforcement arrangement
(from tributary area contour) should be at least 1/5 h0. The spacing of the transverse
reinforcement may be increased to 1/2h0. While one should consider the most unfavourable
position of fracture plane and take into account (in the design) only reinforcing bars crossing
the fracture plane.
The distances between bars of the transverse reinforcement in parallel direction to the
design contour are assumed not more than 1/4 of the respective length side of the design
contour.
10.3.18 Design transverse reinforcement in case of local compression (distortion) meshes
should be placed within design area Ab,max according to (8.1.43). If the tributary area is placed at
the edge of the member, then confinement reinforcement meshes are placed within the area
with sizes (in each direction) not less than the sum of two perpendicular side lengths of the
tributary area (figure 8.9).
Meshes are placed along the depth:
if the member thickness is more than twice the larger size of the tributary area — within the
twice size of the load area;
if the member thickness is less than twice the larger size of the tributary area — within the
member thickness.
10.3.19 Transverse reinforcement (shall be sufficient to resist shear forces and torsional
moments) should have reliable anchorage by welding or enclosing the longitudinal
reinforcement, which provide through thickness properties of connections and transverse
reinforcement.
10.3.20 Additional transverse or confinement reinforcement (welded meshes enclosing all
longitudinal rebars, stirrups and etc. with spacing 5 – 10 cm) should be placed at the ends of
prestressed members in the fragment length which is not less than 0,6 of the prestress transfer
zone lp; for members of light-weight concrete classes В7,5 - В12,5 – with spacing 5 cm in the
fragment length not less than lp and not less than 20 cm for members with reinforcement
128
without anchors, if anchorages are provided – in the fragment equal to two lengths of these
anchorage.
Anchorages at the reinforcement ends are necessary for post-tensioning and pretensioning
reinforcement with inadequate bond (smooth wire, multistrand ropes), while anchrages should
provide adequate fixing of reinforcement in concrete at all working stages.
Generally, anchorage at the ends of prestressed bars is not required if the following is used
for prestressing effective reinforcement: high-strength ribbed profile reinforcing wire,
reinforcing strands with one-fold lay, hot rolled and thermo mechanically hardened ribbed
profile pretensioning reinforcement.
Anchorage of reinforcement
10.3.21 Anchorage of reinforcement is performed by one of the following methods or
combining them:
with straight end of a bar (straight anchorage);
bending at the end of a bar (hook, claw or loop (only for ordinary reinforcement));
welding or setting the transverse bar (only for ordinary reinforcement);
using specific anchorage at the end of a bar.
10.3.22 Straight anchorage and claw anchorage is permitted to be used only for ribbed
reinforcement. For tensile smooth bars one should use hooks, loops, welded transverse bars or
special anchorage.
Claws, hooks and loops are not recommended to be used for anchorage of compressive
reinforcement, apart from plain reinforcement which can be subject to tension if combining
loads.
10.3.23 The following should be considered in the anchorage length design: anchorage
method, reinforcement class and its profile, reinforcement diameter, concrete strength and its
stress state in anchorage zone, constructive solution of the element in the anchorage zone
(transverse reinforcement, bars position in the section).
10.3.24 Basic (main) length of the anchorage, necessary to transmit forces in reinforcement
with full design resistance Rs to concrete, is determined by the formula:
(10.1)
where As and us − cross-sectional area of the anchored rebar and the perimeter of its
section, determined by nominal diameter of the bar;
Rbond — design anchorage bond strength, uniformly distributed along anchorage length and
determined by the formula:
129
Rbond = η1  η2  Rbt
(10.2)
here Rbt — design tensile resistance of concrete;
1 — coefficient considering surface characteristics of reinforcement, which are:
for ordinary reinforcement:
1,5 — for plain reinforcement;
2 — for cold worked ribbed reinforcement;
2,5 — for hot rolled and thermo mechanically cured ribbed reinforcement;
for prestressing reinforcement:
1,7 – for cold worked ribbed reinforcement class Вр1500 with diameter 3 mm and
reinforcing wires of К1500 class with diameter 6 mm;
1,8 – for cold worked reinforcement of Вр class with diameter exceeding 4 mm;
2,2 – for reinforcing wires of К class with diameter exceeding 9 mm;
2,4 – for reinforcing wires of К7Т class with diameter exceeding 9 mm, made of ribbed wire;
2,5 – for hot rolled and thermo mechanically cured reinforcement of A class.
2 — coefficient, considering rebar diameter, that is:
for ordinary reinforcement:
η2 = 1,0 — when reinforcement diameter is ds  32 mm;
η2 = 0,9 — when reinforcement diameter is 36 and 40 mm.
for prestressing reinforcement:
η2 = 1,0 for all types of prestressing reinforcement.
10.3.25 Required design anchorage length of reinforcement taking account of constructive
solution of an element in the anchorage zone is determined by the formula:
(10.3)
where l0,an — basic anchorage length, determined by formula (10.1);
As,cal, As,ef — design cross-sectional area of reinforcement required for the design and
determined in a respective way;
 — coefficient taking account of anchorage length stress conditions of concrete and
reinforcement and constructive solution of an element in the anchorage zone.
130
For ordinary reinforcement at ribbed reinforcement anchorage with straight ends of a bar
(straight anchorage) or plain reinforcement with hooks and loops without additional anchorage,
one should assume for tensile bars  = 1,0; for compressive —  = 0,75; for prestressing
reinforcement – α = 1,0.
Anchorage length of ordinary rebars is allowed to be reduced according to the amount and
diameter of transverse reinforcement, type of anchorage (welded transverse reinforcement,
bending at the end of ribbed reinforcement) and transverse prestressing of concrete in the
anchorage zone (i.e. from support reaction), but not more than 30%.
Anyway, the actual anchorage length is assumed not less than 15ds and 200 mm, and for
ordinary rebars – also not less than 0,3l0,an.
For members of fine-aggregate concrete of A group, the characteristic value of the
anchorage length should be extended to 10ds for tensile concrete and to 5ds – for compressive
concrete.
10.3.26 Force resisted by anchored rebar Ns is determined by the formula
(10.4)
where lan — anchorage length determined according to 10.3.25 (here
As ,cal
As ,ef
 1 );
ls — distance from the end of the anchored bar to the referred cross-section.
10.3.27 At the edge free supports of elements, the length of extended tensile bars (of
ordinary reinforcement) outside the inner face of the free support (when Q  Qb1 (see 8.1.31 8.1.35)) should be not less than 5 ds. Otherwise, the length of extended rebar outside the inner
face of the free support is determined according to 10.3.25.
10.3.28 When placing specific anchorage at bar end as plates, washers, nuts, angles etc.,
joint area of anchorage with concrete should satisfy concrete bearing strength. Besides, when
designing welded anchorage details, it is necessary to consider metal welding characteristics
and welding conditions.
Ordinary reinforcement joints
10.3.29 Following joints are used for ordinary reinforcement:
a) laps without welding:
- with straight ends of ribbed rebars;
- with straight ends with welding and placing cross bars at the length of laps;
- with bends at the ends of the bar (hooks, claws or loops); for smooth reinforcement one
should use only hooks and loops.
131
b) welded and mechanical joints:
- with reinforcement welding;
- using specific mechanical equipment (joints with compressed couplers, threaded couplers
etc.)
10.3.30 Reinforcement laps (without welding) are used for joining bars if the diameter of the
effective reinforcement is not more than 40 mm.
Guidelines 10.3.22 are applied for reinforcement laps.
Joints of tensile or compressive reinforcement should have length of laps not less than the
length ll determined by the formula:
(10.5)
where l0,an — basic anchorage length, determined by formula (10.1);
As,cal, As,ef — see 10.3.25;
 — coefficient taking account of reinforcement stress-strain state, constructive solution of
an element in the junction zone of bars, the amount of reinforcement joints in one section with
regard to the total amount of reinforcement in the section, the distance between bar joints.
Coefficient  for tensile reinforcement is assumed equal to 1,2, and for compressive
reinforcement − 0,9 both in ribbed reinforcement joints with straight ends and smooth bars
with hooks and loops without additional anchorage. Following requirements are to be met:
relative amount of effective tensile ribbed reinforcement joints in one design section should
not exceed 50 %, plain reinforcement (with hooks and loops) – should not exceed 25%;
force resisted by all transverse reinforcement within the joint should be not less than half of
the force resisted by effective tensile reinforcement joints in one design section of a member;
the distance between joining rebars should not exceed 4 ds;
the distance between joining laps (over the width of a reinforced concrete member) should
be not less than 2 ds or not less than 30 mm.
Member zone along reinforcement joint with length 1,3 ll is considered as one design section
of the member necessary to determine relative amount of reinforcement joints in one section.
Reinforcement joints are considered to be located in one design section, if the centre joints are
within the length of the mentioned zone.
Relative amount of effective tensile reinforcement joints in one section may be increased to
100 %, assuming coefficient  equal to 2,0. Coefficient  is defined by linear interpolation when
132
the relative amount of ribbed reinforcement joints in one section is more than 50 % and when
smooth reinforcement is more than 25 %.
If there is additional anchorage at the ends of joining bars (welding of transverse
reinforcement, bending at ends of the ribbed rebars etc.), then the overlapping length of
joining bars may be reduced to not more than 30 %.
In any case, actual overlapping length should be not less than 0,4l0,an, not less than 20 ds or
not less than 250 mm.
10.3.31 When reinforcement joints are made with welding, then types of welded joints and
welding method are chosen considering structure service conditions, steel weldability and
manufacturing technology requirements according to GOST 14098.
10.3.32 If mechanical devices – couplers (threaded or compressed couplers) are used for
reinforcement joints, then bearing capacity of a coupler joint should be equal to bar joints (in
tension or compression). Ends of bar joints should be placed for required length in a coupler,
determined by design or experimentally.
Threaded couplers should be properly tightened up to avoid thread gaps.
Bent bars
10.3.33 When bent bars are used, then the minimum diameter to which a bar is bent should
be such to avoid failure or concrete crushing inside the rebar bend and its failure at the place of
bending.
The minimum diameter of mandrel don for rebars depends on the bar diameter ds and should
be not less than:
for smooth bars:
don = 2,5 ds at ds < 20 mm;
don = 4 ds at ds  20 mm;
for ribbed bars:
don = 5 ds at ds < 20 mm;
don = 8 ds at ds  20 mm.
The diameter of mandrel may be also determined in accordance with technical conditions
for the referred rebar.
10.4 Detailing of main bearing reinforced concrete structures
10.4.1 General requirements listed in 10.2 and 10.3 for detailing of reinforced concrete
structures and guidelines of the present paragraph should be observed while detailing of main
133
bearing members of reinforced concrete structures (columns, walls, slabs and roofs, foundation
slabs).
10.4.2 Columns are reinforced by longitudinal, generally, symmetrical reinforcement along
the cross-section contour and in necessary cases inside the cross-section; by transverse
reinforcement over the column height enclosing all longitudinal bars and located along the
contour and inside the cross-section.
The structure of transverse reinforcement within the cross-section and maximum distances
between stirrups and connections over the column height should be assumed to prevent
buckling of longitudinal bars inn compression and uniformly resist shear forces over the column
height.
10.4.3 Walls are recommended to be reinforced, generally, by vertical or horizontal
reinforcement located symmetrically at the lateral wall sides and by cross ties connecting
vertical and horizontal reinforcement located at the opposite lateral wall sides.
Maximum distance between vertical and horizontal bars, as well as maximum distance
between cross ties should be assumed to prevent buckling of vertical bars in compression and
uniformly resist forces acting in the wall.
10.4.4 At end zones of a wall over its height one should provide transverse reinforcement as
U-shaped or closed stirrups which make the required anchorage of horizontal bar ends and
prevent compressed vertical bars from buckling.
10.4.5 Wall joints at the point of their intersection, if continuous horizontal reinforcement is
not available in this joint, should be reinforced over the full wall height by crossing U-shaped
stirrups which help sustain concentrated horizontal forces in wall joints, prevent vertical
compressed bars in joints from buckling and provide anchorage of horizontal bar ends.
а – slab edge, b – wall edge, c – T-shaped joint, d – corner joint
Figure 10.1 – Anchorage with U-shaped details
10.4.6 Reinforcement of piers with intermediate position (according to their geometric
dimensions) between walls and columns is carried out as for columns or walls according to the
ratio of the cross-section length and width of piers.
134
10.4.7 The amount of vertical and horizontal reinforcement in a wall should be set in
accordance with forces acting in the wall. Uniform reinforcement should be provided over the
wall with increased reinforcement at wall edges and openings.
10.4.8 Plane slabs should be reinforced by longitudinal reinforcement at top and bottom slab
sides in two directions and in some cases (according to the design) by transverse reinforcement
located at columns, walls and over the slab.
10.4.9 Transverse reinforcement, at end areas of plane slabs, should be set in the form of Ushaped stirrups located at the slab edge and help sustain torsional moments at the wall edge
and provide adequate anchorage of end areas of longitudinal reinforcement.
10.4.10 The amount of vertical and horizontal reinforcement in a slab should be set in
accordance with acting forces. While for irregular structural systems for the purpose of
simplifying the reinforcement it is recommended: to provide uniform bottom reinforcement
over the whole area of the referred structure in compliance with the maximum forces in a slab
span; assume main top reinforcement the same as bottom, and provide additional top
reinforcement at columns and walls to sustain (together with main reinforcement) supporting
forces in a slab. Longitudinal reinforcement for irregular structural systems is recommended to
be provided of inclined and inter column strips in two orthogonally related directions in
accordance with acting (in these strips) forces.
Part of a slab reinforcement may be provided in form of welded continuous frames in twoway column strips (concealed beam), while frames should pass continuously through columns.
To reduce costs of reinforcement it is recommended to provide top and bottom
reinforcement over total slab area complying with minimum reinforcement ratio; for areas
where acting forces exceed forces sustained by this reinforcement – additional reinforcement
should be provided. Additional, top and bottom reinforcement sustain forces acting at the
areas. This approach leads to more complex reinforcement of floors with more strict control of
reinforcing works.
Reinforcement of foundation slabs should be performed in a similar way.
10.4.11 Detailing of beam joints with columns should be performed in accordance with the
figure 10.2. Transverse reinforcement should be provided as closed stirrups or U-shaped details
in the anchorage zone of the effective beam reinforcement.
135
a – tension zone is at the top side of a beam, b – tension zone is at the bottom side of a beam
Figure 10.2 – Beam joints with columns
Figure 10.3 –Supporting reinforcement, provided in the intersection zone of two
beams
10.4.12 Additional transverse reinforcement should be placed in the intersection zone to
resist the reaction resulting from the additional beam. The reinforcement in the main beam
should be provided with a width b + 2h, where b and h – width and height of the secondary
beam, in the secondary beam – with a width h/3. Reinforcement should be placed as stirrups
enclosing longitudinal reinforcement – additionally to reinforcement required for the analysis
of inclined and spatial sections.
136

11.4.6 Structures should be maintained so that they perform functions (stated by the
project) throughout the whole service life of buildings and constructions. It is necessary to
140
satisfy service conditions of concrete and reinforced concrete structures of buildings and
constructions, excluding reducing of their bearing capacity, serviceability and durability due to
gross violations of specified service conditions (structural overloading, failures to carry out
scheduled-preventive maintenance works, corrosive power increase etc.). Measures listed in
chapter 12 should be followed in case structural damage is observed during service which can
lead to safety inhibition or inadequate service.
11.5 Quality control
11.5.1 Quality control of structures should set the compliance of technical parameters
(geometric dimensions, strength parameters of concrete and reinforcement, strength, crack
resistance and structure ductility) while manufacturing, erection and service; and compliance of
process manufacturing parameters to parameters stated in the project and regulatory
documents (SP 48.13330, GOST 13015).
Quality control methods (control rules, test techniques) are specified by the respective
standards and specifications.
11.5.2 To fulfil requirements for concrete and reinforced concrete structures one should
carry out the product quality control which includes the following inspections: incoming,
operational, acceptance, in-service.
11.5.3 Concrete strength control should be performed, generally, based on tests of purposemade and selected check samples in accordance with GOST 10180, GOST 28570; or by nondestructive methods (GOST 22690, GOST 17624).
Concrete strength control for monolithic structures should be performed based on tests of
check samples produced at the place of concrete mix pouring and stored in similar to concrete
hardening conditions or normal (experimental) conditions; or by non-destructive methods
(GOST R 53213, GOST 22690, GOST 17624).
Concrete strength control for monolithic structures should be performed by non-destructive
methods. In exceptional cases (in the absence of access to structures) it is permitted to perform
concrete strength control based on samples produced at the place of concrete mix pouring and
stored in similar to concrete hardening conditions.
Assessment of concrete strength should be performed by static methods taking account of
actual homogeneity of concrete strength. For concrete strength control by non-destructive
methods, the homogeneity characteristic of concrete strength is determined considering
uncertainties of applied non-destructive methods.
Non-static testing methods are allowed to be applied:
at the limited volume of structures under control in initial production period;
while performing non-destructive concrete strength control without calibration, but using
reduced universal relations;
141
in exceptional cases for strength control of monolithic structural concrete performed using
test spicemen manufactured at the building site (GOST R 53231).
11.5.4 Control for frost resistance, water impermeability and concrete density should be
performed according to GOST 10060.0, GOST 12730.5, GOST 12730.1, GOST 12730.0, GOST
27005.
11.5.5 Quality parameter control of reinforcement (incoming control) should be performed
according to reinforcement specifications and execution of quality assessment reports of
reinforced concrete products.
Quality control of welding works is performed in compliance with SP 70.13330, GOST 10922,
GOST 23858.
11.5.6 Assessment of precast structures for strength, crack resistance, deformations
(serviceability) should be performed according to GOST 8829 using control load applied to the
structure or by means of sample test (fatigue failure load of separate precast products taken
from the lot of the same-type structures). Assessment of structural serviceability may also be
performed based on control results of partial parameter set (for build-up and cast-in place
structures) defining concrete strength, concrete cover, geometric dimensions of sections and
structures, arrangement of reinforcement and strength of welded joints, diameter and
mechanic behaviour of reinforcement, main dimensions of reinforcing products and values of
tendons obtained from incoming, operational and acceptance control.
11.5.7 Precast concrete and reinforced concrete structures after erection should be
accepted for operation by checking the conformity of the completed structure to the project
(SP 70.13330).
Concrete and reinforced concrete products after erection should be accepted according to
SP 130.13330 and GOST 13015.
12 Requirements for restoration and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures
12.1 Basic provisions
Restoration and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures should be performed based
on results from on-site inspection, verification procedure, calculation and detailing of
strengthening structures.
12.2 On-site inspection
The following issues should be set by means of on-site inspections according to particular
task: structural state; geometric dimensions and reinforcement; concrete strength, type and
class of reinforcement and its condition; structural deflections; width, length and location of
cracks; dimensions and failure behavior; loads; static scheme.
142
12.3 Verification procedure
12.3.1 Verification procedure of the existed structures should be performed with the
changes of applied loads, service conditions and space-planning decisions, with major defects
and damages in structures.
Verification procedure helps establish structural serviceability, strengthening necessity,
service load necessity and structure unserviceability.
12.3.2 Verification procedure should be performed based on design materials, data on
structural manufacturing and erection, results of on-site inspections.
Design schemes while verification procedures should be assumed taking account of obtained
actual geometric dimensions, actual connections, interaction of structures and structural
members, apparent deviations during assembly.
12.3.3 Verification procedure should be performed for ULS (ultimate limit states) and SLS
(serviceability limit states). Verification procedure may be neglected for serviceability if
displacements and crack width in the existed structures at maximum actual loads do not exceed
accepted values; and forces in sections due to possible loads do not exceed forces due to acting
loads.
12.3.4 Design characteristic values of concrete are assumed from Table 6.8 according to
concrete class stated in the project or notional concrete class determined using reduction
factors. Reduction factors ensure equivalent strength by actual average concrete strength
obtained from concrete tests by non-destructive methods or from tests of selected samples.
12.3.5 Design characteristic values of reinforcement are assumed from Table 6.8 according
to reinforcement class stated in the project or notional reinforcement class determined using
reduction factors. Reduction factors ensure equivalent strength by average reinforcement
strength obtained from reinforcement tests by non-destructive methods or from tests of
selected samples.
In the absence of the project data or impossibility of selecting samples, the reinforcement
class is permitted to be determined according to the reinforcement profile, and design
resistance may be assumed 20% less of the respective values stated in regulatory documents.
12.3.6 The following defects and damages detected from on-site inspections should be taken
into account during verification procedure: strength reduction, local damage and concrete
failure; curtailment of reinforcement, reinforcement corrosion, anchorage and bond impairs;
critical cracking; structural deviations from project in separate members and their connections.
12.3.7 Structures which do not meet requirements for SLS and ULS design are subject to
strengthening or service load reduction.
Strengthening or service load reduction may be omitted for structures which do not meet
requirements for SLS design, if actual deflections exceed accepted values but do not hinder
143
normal service and if actual cracking exceeds accepted values but does not create a risk of
failure.
12.4 Strengthening of reinforced concrete structures
12.4.1 Strengthening of reinforced concrete structures is performed using steel members,
concrete and reinforced concrete, reinforcement and polymer materials.
12.4.2 While strengthening of reinforced concrete structures, the bearing capacity for both
strengthening members and structure should be considered. This requires interaction of
strengthening members and strengthening structure. For badly damaged structures (when
damage is more than 50% of a concrete section or sectional area of an effective reinforcement),
strengthening members should be calculated for total acting loads, while bearing capacity of
the strengthening structure is neglected in the design.
While filling of excessive cracks and other concrete defects, it is necessary to provide
through thickness properties of structural areas (subjected to restoration) with main concrete.
12.4.3 Design characteristic values of strengthening materials are assumed according to
effective regulatory documents.
Design characteristic values of materials of a strengthening structure are assumed based on
design data considering results of inspections according to verification procedure rules.
12.4.4 Design of reinforced concrete structure, being strengthened, should be performed
according to general design rules of reinforced concrete structures considering stress-strain
state of the structure, obtained before being strengthened.
13 Fatigue analysis of reinforced concrete structures
13.1 Fatigue analysis of reinforced concrete structures should be performed for regular load
cycles. Resistance verification in the fatigue analysis is performed separately for concrete and
reinforcement.
Fatigue analysis is performed by elastic stage with cracks. Tensile and compressive
reinforcement behavior and their fatigue strength should be neglected.
13.2 Fatigue analysis should be performed, taking into account that maximum stresses in
compressive concrete and tensile reinforcement due to regular load cycles do not exceed
design compression and fatigue tension resistances of concrete and reinforcement respectively.
13.3 Design fatigue resistance of concrete and reinforcement is generally determined
considering asymmetry of loading cycles, concrete and reinforcement classes (compressive and
tensile strength respectively) for number of cycles equal to N = 2  106, using descending
curvilinear relation, obtained from experiment data.
Design fatigue resistances of concrete should be determined considering concrete type
(heavy-weight and light-weight), moisture conditions within the concrete. Design fatigue
144
resistances of reinforcement should be determined taking account of available welded
connections.
Asymmetry of loading cycles is characterized by ratio of minimum and maximum stresses in
concrete and reinforcement within load modification cycle.

assessment of basement bearing capacity and deformation;
in particular cases, assessment of structural system resistance to progressive collapse.
B.2 Analysis of structural system including superstructure, underground structure and
foundation should be performed for service stage. In case design situation changes during
erection, the bearing structural system design should be performed for all consequent erection
stages, assuming design schemes complying with the stages under consideration.
B.3 In general case the analysis of bearing structural system should be performed spatially
taking account of interaction of superstructures, underground structures, foundation and
basement under it.
B.4 In the analysis of bearing structural systems of precast members, the flexibility of
connections should be considered.
В.5 The analysis of bearing structural systems should be carried out using linear and nonlinear deformation (rigidity) characteristics of reinforced concrete members.
Linear deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete members are determined the
same as for solid elastic body.
Non-linear deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete members with established
reinforcement should be determined considering both possible cracking in cross-sections and
inelastic deformations in concrete and reinforcement, complying with short-term and longterm loading.
B.6 The analysis of bearing structural system should set: in columns – values of axial and
shear forces, bending moments; in plane slabs, floors and foundations – values of bending
moments, torsional moments, shear and axial forces; in walls – values of axial and shear forces,
bending moments, torsional moments.
Determination of forces in structural system members should be performed for design
permanent, long-term and short-term loads.
152
B.7 The analysis of bearing structural system should set values of vertical displacements
(deflections) of floors and roofs, horizontal displacements of a structural system; for high-rise
buildings - sway acceleration of top floors. The value of displacements and sway acceleration
should not exceed accepted values, set by the respective regulatory documents.
Horizontal displacements of a structural system should be determined according to design
(for second group limit states) permanent, long-term and short-term horizontal and vertical
loads.

overturning moment due to horizontal load with safety factor 1,5.
In the shear analysis the resisting axial force should exceed acting shear force with safety
factor 1,2. While most unfavorable values of load safety factors should be taken into account.
В.10 Stability analysis against progressive collapse should provide strength and stability of
entire structural system at accidental loss of one structural system member (column, wall or
floor zone) and possible subsequent failure of adjacent member. Besides when appropriate,
one may consider the design situation with accidental loss of a part of the foundation basement
(i.e. in case of karst formation).

elements.
В.17 While creating three-dimensional model of a structural system one should consider
interaction behaviour of shell, bar and solid finite elements, related to different degrees of
freedom for each of the mentioned above elements.
В.18 Ductility characteristics of basement should be considered by using common basement
design models, different types of finite elements or boundary conditions with set flexibility; by
modeling of overall soil massive under the building of solid finite elements; or in a complex – by
using all mentioned above methods.
В.19 The first analysis stage of a structural system allows to consider basement ductility with
modulus of subgrade reaction assumed by average soil characteristics.
B.20 While using pile and piled rafts foundation, piles should be modeled as reinforced
concrete structures or their interaction with soil should be taken into account, assuming
basement as solid with reduced modulus of subgrade reaction.
B.21 Dimensions and configuration of finite elements for FE design model should be set
considering application possibility of specific design programs and to provide adequate
accuracy of force over the length of columns and over the area of slabs, foundations and walls.
B.22 FE rigidity characteristics at the initial stage of structural system analysis, when
reinforcement is not set yet, should be determined based on linear deformation characteristics.
B.23 After reinforcement in slabs and floors is determined, the additional analysis of
structural deflections should be performed, assuming detailed values of bending rigidity
characteristics of slabs taking account of two-way reinforcement.
B.24 Additional analysis of structural system is recommended for a more precise assessment
of both bending moment in floors, roofs, foundation slabs and axial forces in walls and columns
taking account of non-linear rigidity characteristics of finite elements.
154
B.25 Structural system analysis based on finite element method should be performed using
special certified in Russia computer programs.

Figure Ж.1 – Design scheme for short cantilever subjected to shear force
For hinged supporting of a beam on a short cantilever (along its length) without special
fixings for support area (figure Ж.2), lsup in condition (Ж.1) is assumed equal to 2/3 of the actual
support area length.
Transverse reinforcement of short cantilevers should comply with structural requirements.

cantilever should be verified as follows
(Ж.2)
where l1, h0 – see figure Ж.1.
While longitudinal reinforcement should continue up to the free cantilever end and have
adequate anchorage.

reinforcement girder to cantilever reinforcement through fixings, the longitudinal
reinforcement of cantilever should be verified as follows

joint of girder and cantilever fixings; height and length of edge welding joint of girder and
cantilever fixings; Rf – design shear resistance of fillet weld material determined according to
SP 16.13330, at electrodes E42 Rwf = 180 MPa; 0,3 – coefficient of friction between steel
surfaces), not more than Rsw Asw (where Rsw and Asw – design resistance and sectional area of
top girder reinforcement).
In formulas (Ж.3) and (Ж.4):
М, Q – bending moment and shear force in normal section of a girder at cantilever edge; if
moment М is tensioning the bottom girder side, М is considered in formula (Ж.4) with “minus”
sign;

Design of cast-in-place and precast structures
И.1 Cast-in-place and precast structures consist of precast reinforced concrete members,
monolithic poured-in-place concrete and reinforcement.
For precast members one may use both specially designed and typical reinforced concrete
ordinary or prestressed members of precast structures.
И.2 Cast-in-place and precast reinforced concrete structures should comply with design
requirements for ULS (first group limit states) and SLS (second group limit states).
Cast-in-place and precast structures should be calculated for strength, cracking and
deformations for the following working stages of structures:
before grouting concrete obtained design strength – for concrete dead weight impact and
other loads acting at the construction phase;
after grouting concrete obtained design strength – for loads acting at the construction phase
and while service.
Design of cast-in-place and precast structures after grouting concrete obtained design
strength should be performed considering initial stresses and strains in the precast members
occurred in precast members before grouting concrete obtained design strength.
И.3 Adequate bond between grouting concrete and precast members should be provided
using reinforcement dowels, by placing concrete keys or surface roughness, longitudinal ribs or
by other means.
Strength design of joints for shear, tension and compression forces between precast
members and monolithic concrete is performed according to И.4 - И.8.
И.4 Design of joints for tension should be performed considering
Nj  γbt, j  Rbt  Ab, j,
(И.1)
where γbt, j – coefficient assumed for treated joints equal to 0,25, for non-treated joints –
equal to 0.
Design of reinforced joints for tension should be performed considering
Nj  Rs  As,j.
(И.2)
И.5 Design of joints for shear is recommended to be performed considering:
Qj  γb,sh, j  Rbt  Ab, j,
(И.3)
where γb,sh – coefficient assumed for non-treated joint equal to 0,5, for treated joints – equal
to 1,0;
166
Design of reinforced shear joints should be performed considering:
Qj  γb,sh, j  Rbt  Ab, j  (1 + γsb,sh, jRs, j  μs ,j),
(И.4)
but not more than γb,sh,lim  Rbt  Ab, j,
where γb,sh,j – coefficient assumed the same as in condition (И.3);
γsb,sh,j – coefficient assumed equal to 1,0 (1/(kg/cm2));
γb,sh,lim – coefficient assumed equal to 2,0.
И.6 Design of joints for interaction of shear and tension forces is performed considering
(И.5)
where force Nj,0 is assumed equal to the second member of conditions (И.1) and (И.2), and
force Qj,0 – equal to the second member of conditions (И.3) and (И.4).
И.7 Design of compression joints is performed as follows
Nj  Rb  Ab,j.
(И.6)
Design of reinforced joints for compression should be performed considering
Nj  RbAb,j + Rsc  As,j.
(И.7)
И.8 Design of joints for interaction of shear and compression forces is performed
considering:
at 0 
at 0,4 <
at 0,6 
 0,4
Qj  Qb,j,0 + γjw  Nj,
(И.8)
Qj  Qb,j,lim;
(И.9)
Qj  Qb,j,0 + γjw(Nj,0 - Nj),
(И.10)
< 0,6
1
where force Nj,0 is assumed equal to the second member of conditions (И.6) and (И.7), force
Qb,j,0 − equal to the second member of conditions (И.3) and (И.4), coefficient γjw is assumed
equal to 1,0, for particular cases, which require experimental justification – according to fullscale experimental investigation.

Consideration of confinement reinforcement for eccentrically compressed members design
based on non-linear deformation model
К.1 Design of eccentrically compressed bar members of heavy-weight or fine-aggregate
concrete with confinement reinforcement based on non-linear deformation model should be
performed according to guidelines 8.1.20 - 8.1.30 and additional guidelines К.2 - К.4.
К.2 Rigidity characteristics Dij (i, j - 1, 2, 3) in expressions (8.39) - (8.41), for determining
concrete and reinforcement deformations in a normal section of members with confinement
reinforcement, should be determined by the following formulas:
where:
Abk, Zbxk, Zbyk − area, centroid coordinates of k compression concrete zone with confinement
reinforcement and stress at its centroid;
vbk – elasticity coefficient of concrete with confinement reinforcement of k zone; other
symbols − see 8.1.23.
It is permitted to assume Abi = 0 in formulas (К.1) - (К.6).
К.3 Coefficient vbk should be determined according to concrete stress-strain diagram with
confinement reinforcement at axial compression.
While using bilinear and trilinear diagram, coefficient vbk should be determined using
relations (6.5) - (6.9), where concrete characteristics with confinement reinforcement Rb,red,
εb0,red and εb2,red should be used instead of concrete characteristics Rb, εb0 and εb2
Rb,red = Rb + φ  μxy  Rs,xy
εb0,red = εb0 + 0,02  αred
(K.7)
(K.8)
168
(K.9)
where Rs,xy – design reinforcement resistance of confinement reinforcement meshes;
(K.10)
here nх, Asx, lx – number of bars, cross-sectional area and mesh length respectively (along
edge rebars axes) in one direction;
nу, Asy, ly – the same in another direction;
Rs,xy and Rb – in MPa.
К.4 While using curved stress-strain diagrams, coefficient vbk should be determined using
relations (К.2) - (К.8), where concrete characteristics with confinement reinforcement Rb,red and
εb0,red should be used instead of concrete characteristics
and ; v0 for rising branch of axial
compression diagram of concrete should be assumed equal to the value determined as follows
