Calculations of compressed rods considering experiments over last 100 years

The article presents the results of testing and FE-modelling of rods calculated for the central and eccentric compressive load. More than 600 tests have been analysed over the past 100 years, including made by author, in a wide range of slenderness made of steels with a yield strength of up to 1000 MPa. It is established that the existing Russian calculation methods allow us to accurately determine the bearing capacity of the rod for steel of any strength. Verification of calculation method was carried out not only by stresses and ultimate load-bearing capacity, but also by the deformations of the tested rods. It is established that for H-beams and thin- walled pipes, clarification of the design codes is required to be able to design cost-effective designs, since the code formulas give a margin. This is especially true for elements of low flexibility with small eccentricities. To clarify the codes, a method for modelling a three-line diagram of steel operation, verified with the test results, is proposed

On the New "Manual on Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures (in Elaboration of Formulary SP 266.13330.2016 "Composite Steel and Concrete Structures. Design Rules")"

The paper provides a brief overview of domestic and foreign guidelines (manuals) for the design of composite steel and concrete structures: steel-concrete slabs on profiled flooring, combined beams, and columns with rigid reinforcement. The necessity of creation of the actual manual corresponding to the modernlevel of development of construction science, normative documents and design practiceslinked to the new formulary SP 266.1325800.2016 is proved. It will facilitate the design, reduce labor expenditures and improve the reliability of composite steel and concrete structures. The new guidance provides general recommendations for the design of composite steel and concrete structures and the basic regulations for the calculations. The new guidance describes recommendations for modeling of composite steel and concrete structures and elements in the calculated complexes, the recommendations for calculation of combined beams fully concreting rectangular and T-section, partially concreting along with support slab on the lower flange of the beam, columns with rigid reinforcement, shear a connection of composite beams. Recommendations on the registration of creep, shrinkage and crack formation in the appointment of the modulus of elasticity are given. Recommendations on the use of diagrams of the state of concrete, reinforcement, and steel in the calculation of steel-concrete elements on a nonlinear deformation model are given. Recommendations on the use of the range of sheet flooring for steel-reinforced concrete slabs, as well as metal profiles as steel beams and rigid reinforcement in the cross sections of columns and combined beams, are presented. Recommendations on a design of units and details of composite steel and concrete structures are given, refined recommendations on buffer are presented. The examples of connection of steel beams with columns with rigid reinforcement are given. The examples of calculation of composite steel and concrete structures taking subject to the recommendations given in the Manual are presented
