Abstract
The theory of calculating reinforced concrete is analyzed. As we known reinforced concrete with enormous volumes of application and huge financial costs, due to the great complexity of its nonlinear properties, has a surprisingly unscientific theory of calculation, consisting of two parts: short-term and longterm loading. The work of a number of round tables was devoted to the problem of errors in the theory of calculating reinforced concrete. The round tables held at the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University) on the initiative and under the guidance of famous scientists: V.M. Bondarenko, S.N. Krivoshapko, V.V. Galishnikova (the last one took place in 2020) with a large number of participants of authoritative scientists from Russia and other countries. It is shown that the theory of calculation of reinforced concrete structures, which are widely used (with long-term loading all over the world), includes five inconsistent (among them erroneous) theories, the essence of which and one postulate are set further. Using the rules of mathematics, the principles of mechanics and the results of solid experiments, it was revealed that the analyzed theory contains a set of theories rejecting each other for various purposes, including erroneous ones.
