Abstract
Abstract in the article the main types of building structures are considered, which are distinguished by the type of material. For the purpose of studying, each type has brief information including its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with others. In the section reinforced concrete structures, the authors characterize this material from three sides - this is the method of manufacture, the type of concrete and its stressed state. As a result, it was found that when choosing a foundation, special attention is paid to: bearing capacity, type of building being built, soil characteristics. In addition to the above, it can be added that weight reduction, cost reduction and material consumption in reinforced concrete structures are possible through the use of high-strength concrete and reinforcement. Metal structures are the most popular building material. The possibilities of this material are very diverse: building designs, designs specifically for certain seismic and climatic conditions, and high decorative properties. Due to its strength and rigidity, buildings can withstand hurricane gusts of wind and earthquakes. In the manufacture of structures in the factory and during installation, steel is subjected to various technological operations: welding, cutting, machining. It was found that in this case the steel does not collapse, it retains the microstructure and mechanical properties. Finally, steel should not have a significant cost of manufacturing structures from it. Turning to the section of wooden structures, the authors list the main advantages - it is comfortable and environmentally friendly and material.
Highlights
It would seem as if everything is well-known about building structures
We would better start with the fact that the main types of structures are distinguished according to the type of material and they are mainly divided into the following types: reinforced concrete structures and products, steel structures, wooden, stone, reinforced stone; plastic and complex
In modern construction ferroconcrete structures are classified according to the method of execution into the following: monolithic cast-in-situ structures, prefabricated and precast and cast-in-situ construction
Summary
One needs to be aware of categorizing them into functional purposes of the load-bearing and enclosing constructions, as well as to bear in mind that this fact is largely a conditional concept. As for students of construction industry, especially Bachelors of junior courses, they might hear these truths for the first time. Structures such as arches, trusses serve mainly the load-bearing or supporting purposes, but there are structures that combine enclosing and bearing functions, these include wall panels, cladding panels, arches, and many others. The load-bearing structures are divided into flat (beams, trusses, frames) and spatial (domes, shells, arches).
