construction of a diagram describing deformation of the concrete exposed to a single dynamic force with account of prestresses produced by the static load

The authors describe methods of composing a concrete dynamic deformation diagramme, if the pre-stress produced by the static load is taken into account. It is noteworthy that the available data concerning the influence of the load preceding any dynamic load and produced on the mechanical properties of the concrete are limited and discrepant. The authors propose their methodology of an experiment and describe items of specialized equipment employed to hold the experiment in question. The authors have held an experimental study to reproduce the conditions of a real structure exposed to an emergency dynamic load. Samples to be tested are exposed to the static load of varied intensity without any relief. Duration of the load application will be six months. The diagram should be recommended for reference in the course of design of concrete and reinforced concrete structures exposed to dynamic loads applied in emergency situations.
