Long-Term Exploitation of a Flexible Foundation in Conditions of Nonlinear Rheological Deformation under Force and Non-Force Influences by M. V. Berlinov

“…The possibility of considering the processes of long-term deformation of rein-forced concrete under a changing mode of action of an external load based on the method of integral estimates is shown. It is shown that environmental damage to reinforced concrete structures can affect the strength of the material, change the calculation schemes, redistribute efforts in the sections of the structure and also lead to other consequences that reduce the design life of buildings. …”
