Elastic displacements of a cement-based composite beam reinforced with punched steel grids

Using Mohr's method, a procedure is proposed for calculating the elastic displacements of a cement-based composite beam reinforced with punched steel grid ribbons. The approach proposed takes into account a possible asymmetry of the structure, the geometry of grids, and the elastic properties of cement mortar and steel.Riga Technical University, Riga, LV-1047, Latvia.
