Assessment of Effectiveness of Av600P Screw Reinforcement in Compressed Reinforced Concrete Elements by Galina E. Okolnikova, Georgy I. Tikhonov

“…The article presents the results of experimental studies of prism specimens with screw four-row reinforcement with diameters of 20 and 32 mm of class Av600P and concrete of classes B30 and B60 under static compression loading. The purpose of the research was to justify the introduction into practice of the construction of an innovative screw reinforcement profile, which will develop the ideas and principles that have become the basis for the widely used six-row A500SP profile, whose design solution (the absence of longitudinal ribs with the arrangement of transverse protrusions in four rows with the possible formation of a two-start screw thread by them) makes it possible to significantly increase the rejection minimum value of the Röhm criterion (fR ≥ 0.075), which characterizes and determines the strength and deformability of the adhesion of reinforcement to concrete, which determine the strength and crack resistance of reinforced concrete structures, and, consequently, their operational safety and reliability. …”
