COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF COMPRESSION ELEMENTS OF STRUCTURES FROM EPOXY POLYMER CONCRETE

Problem statement. The aim of the paper is to describe the results of comprehensive non-destructive safety assessment of compression elements of structures from epoxy polymer concrete under monotonous loading. Results and conclusions. A mathematical model is constructed on the basis of the theory of fuzzy sets to assess the state of structures from epoxy polymer concrete operating under load. Three safety levels of polymer concrete structures operating under load are recognized using microcrack formation criterion. The proposed criterion is useful for practical implementation due to the special feature of operation of polymer concrete structures in chemically hostile environments.
