In the paper the way of calculation of compressive stresses in the cross-section of a four-flue reinforced concrete chimney has been presented. Two types of cross section have been considered: the full cross section and the cross section weakened by openings. The analysis described in the paper refers to the chimney arrangement in diamond shape in relation to wind flow.

In the paper there is presented the algorithm of calculation of normal stresses in reinforced concrete three-flue chimney. The calculation has been made for full cross-section and for cross-section weakened by openings. The governing equations has been derived in an analytical form assuming linear physical laws for concrete and steel and, as for as considered cross-section weakened by openings, taking into account the additional reinforcing steel bars at the openings. In addition coefficients B and C have been determined, which are useful at dimensioning.


Determination of the bearing capacity of the elements damaged as a result of fire effect depends on the accuracy of the thermo-technical calculation. After this calculation, the distribution of the temperature field over the cross section of the element and the strength characteristics depending on it are determined. The temperature distribution over the cross section of the element depends on such parameters as heat capacity and thermal conductivity of parts of the section, the spatial position of the structure, its humidity. As part of this work, heat engineering calculations of the cross section of the reinforced concrete column were performed with various options of the cross section - with and without a protective layer, taking into account the thermal performance of all cross section components (reinforcement, concrete and corrosion) and excluding corrosion and reinforcement. Based on the obtained temperature fields, the bearing capacity and its percentage ratio were calculated. The main conclusion is that the bearing capacity of the centrally compressed corrosion-damaged elements is significantly influenced by the factor of separation of the protective layer of concrete, as well as thermal-technical characteristics of materials.

Состояние проблемы. Железобетонные элементы изготавливаются, как правило, по трем основным технологиям - вибрированием, центрифугированием и виброцентрифугированием. Однако все основные расчетные зависимости для определения их несущей способности выведены, исходя из основного постулата - постоянства и равенства характеристик бетона по сечению, что реализуется лишь в вибрированных колоннах. Результаты. В рамках диаграммного подхода предложены итерационный, приближенный и упрощенный способы расчета несущей способности железобетонных вибрированных, центрифугированных и виброцентрифугированных колонн. Выводы. Расчет по диаграммному подходу показал существенно более подходящую сходимость с опытными данными, чем расчет по методике норм, а также дал лучшие результаты при использовании дифференциальных характеристик бетона, чем при использовании интегральных и, тем более, нормативных характеристик бетона. Statement of the problem. Reinforced concrete elements are typically manufactured according to three basic technologies - vibration, centrifugation and vibrocentrifugation. However, all the basic calculated dependencies for determining their bearing capacity were derived using the main postulate, i.e., the constancy and equality of the characteristics of concrete over the cross section, which is implemented only in vibrated columns. Results. Within the framework of the diagrammatic approach, iterative, approximate and simplified methods of calculating the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete vibrated, centrifuged and vibrocentrifuged columns are proposed. Conclusions. The calculation according to the diagrammatic approach showed a significantly better convergence with the experimental data than that using the method of norms, and also performs better when using differential characteristics of concrete than when employing integral and particularly standard characteristics of concrete.

AbstractThe relevance of the bulk density as a physical parameter characterizing interplanetary dust grains is discussed. The various measurements which lead to a determination of this parameter are reviewed. The specific case of the collected interplanetary dust grains is considered.The bulk density of interplanetary dust grains has been and is still a matter of controversy. This quantity cannot, in general, be directly measured; it is used to relate the mass and the size of a grain. This duality stems from physics itself as there are interactions sensitive to the mass (e.g., gravitational forces) while others are sensitive to the size or the cross-section (e.g., light scattering, radiation pressure, gas and plasma interactions). The measuring technics of the grains reflect this duality as, for instance, impact sensors are generally sensitive to the kinetic energy and thus to the mass, while optical sensors are sensitive to the cross-section. One sees that the density is not strictly speaking the relevant parameter, but what is needed is a relationship between mass and average cross-section.

This article presents the study of reinforced concrete columns strengthened using a partial jacket consisting of a 35mm self-compacting concrete layer added to its most compressed face and tested in combined compression and uniaxial bending until rupture. Wedge bolt connectors were used to increase bond at the interface between the two concrete layers of different ages. Seven 2000 mm long columns were tested. Two columns were cast monolithically and named PO (original column) e PR (reference column). The other five columns were strengthened using a new 35 mm thick self-compacting concrete layer attached to the column face subjected to highest compressive stresses. Column PO had a 120mm by 250 mm rectangular cross section and other columns had a 155 mm by 250mm cross section after the strengthening procedure. Results show that the ultimate resistance of the strengthened columns was more than three times the ultimate resistance of the original column PO, indicating the effectiveness of the strengthening procedure. Detachment of the new concrete layer with concrete crushing and steel yielding occurred in the strengthened columns.


Measurements of the cross sections for the reactions 27 Al( n , α ) 24 Na and 56 Fe( n, p ) 56 Mn for neutrons of energy 13.5 ± 0.1 MeV have been made by a radioactivation method. The neutron flux was determined by a variant of the 'associated particle’ method, in which the α -particles produced concurrently with the neutrons from the D + T reaction were estimated in terms of the volume of helium which accumulated when they were brought to rest in an aluminium foil. Cross section values obtained at 13.5 MeV were: for 27 Al( n , α ): 118.1 ± 6.0 mb : for 56 Fe( n, p ): 106.7 ± 4.7 mb. The errors quoted include both the standard error on the mean of the experimental values and an estimate of possible residual systematic errors. The excitation functions for both reactions in the energy region 13.5 to 14.8 MeV have also been investigated, in order to provide secondary cross section values over this range of energies. At 14.8 MeV the values found were: 27 Al( n , α )103.6 ± 5.5 mb; 56 Fe( n, p )96.7 ± 4.5 mb.

One of the objectives of reactor dosimetry is determination of activity of irradiated dosimeters, which are placed on reactor pressure vessel surface, and calculation of neutron flux in their position. The uncertainty of calculation depends mainly on the choice of nuclear data library, especially cross section used for neutron transport and cross section used as the response function for neutron activation. Nowadays, number of libraries already exists and can be still used in some applications. In addition, new nuclear data library was recently released. In this paper, we have investigated the impact of the cross section libraries on activity of niobium, one of the popular materials used as neutron fluence monitor. For this purpose, a MCNP6 model of VVER-1000 was made and we have compared the results between 14 commonly used cross section libraries. A possibility of using IRDFF library in activation calculations was also considered. The results show good agreement between the new libraries, with the exception of the most recent ENDF/B-VIII.0, which should be further validated.
