Selection of the optimal value of compressive stress in concrete under adverse external impacts

This article reviews the effect of static and dynamic compressive stresses on the durability of reinforced concrete structures in aggressive environments. Based on the analysis of previous work and research on this issue, the author describes the main activities to be implemented in the course of works to ensure the durability of concrete and safety of reinforcement. He outlines the necessary measures to reduce the magnitude of dynamic stresses in pile driving and to ensure the healing of microdamage incurred therein. It is proved in the article that the implementation of the proposed set of measures will allow using reinforced concrete piles as supporting structures of quays in harsh climatic conditions.
