In determining real bearing power of reinforced concrete structures it is necessary to know the amount of deformation limits of both reinforcement steel and concrete. Deformation limits of these materials are known to depend on many factors: stress distribution, loading history, and for concrete - on its age as well. While defining bearing power of reinforced concrete structures working under real loads, estimation of deformation limits for reinforcement steel and concrete become much more important task. If the question is approached more generally, in the process of designing any material or structure we predetermine its serviceability, ie the energy to be applied, for its destruction. Depending upon the presumable working conditions of the structure or material its wearing can be determined and probable further service life can be forecast. Thus, while assessing technical state of any material or structure we must know its strain characteristics as well as such an important material's parameter as deformation limits.
