Abstract :

This research paper looks to the Strength of the eccentrically compressed composite reinforced concrete member (reinforced concrete with transverse plates). The results of experimental verification of the criterion equation of the strength of eccentrically compressed composite–element, with transverse plate developed by V.N. Rudakov, by using the generalized criterion of Rankin, within the fracture mechanics of the micro–polarized body
