Dynamic load assessment of building structures

Abstract

The questions of the theory and practice of testing structures with dynamic loads are presented. A concrete example of testing a structure on its physical model by dynamic load is clearly shown. Some information necessary for statistical processing of research results is given. Building structures are exposed to the intensive dynamic loads. The existing methods and regulatory requirements should consider the loss of strength subject to dynamic impacts. The dynamic load types will show what needs to be more focused on during the construction. Building structures should be designed to stay out of the resonance band during the use. Nowadays, the construction of new industrial complexes and modernization of factories is widely developing. Increased production, leads to increased loads, including load-bearing structures of buildings and structures, namely there are dynamic effects from a large number of machines and mechanisms. Dynamic loads are very varied in nature. They include impacts associated with natural phenomena, such as seismic shocks and wind gusts, as well as dynamic impacts of technological and accidental origin. The most important characteristic determine behavior of buildings and structures under the action of external dynamic load, and are frequency, and nature of vibration. All methods for calculating wind and seismic loads are based on determining these parameters. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the effects of dynamic loads on strength, durability, rigidity and crack resistance of building structures; to develop measures for mitigating oscillations; to verify the design performance of commercialized and exploited structures by the frequency and attenuation intensity of natural oscillations. The scientific novelty in this paper is that experiments were conducted to assess the dynamic stability and deficient dynamic stability using the “soil-to-building”.
