The calculation of the thermally stressed state of reinforced concrete elements, taking into account the climatic conditions of a dry, hot climate, is one of the important tasks in the field of their design. The impact of climatic factors (intense solar radiation, daily and seasonal temperature changes, humidity) causes destructive processes and worsens the durability of reinforced concrete structures. This article proposes an improved engineering method for designing reinforced concrete beams, taking into account the influence of climatic conditions in a dry, hot climate. The proposed method takes into account the nature of changes in climatic factors and allows you to more accurately determine the thermally stressed state of the reinforced concrete element. This method is designed to more accurately determine the behavior of reinforced concrete elements under the influence of temperature fluctuations in climatic conditions of a dry, hot climate. This is especially important when designing and operating reinforced concrete structures that are not protected from solar radiation. The development of reliable criteria for assessing the thermally stressed state also plays an important role in predicting the durability of reinforced concrete structures and preventing unforeseen deformations, cracks and other destructive processes, ensuring their reliability and safety.
