Frequency response of the construction of a large-span building with a cylindrical-and-slab roof†

Abstract

Relevance of the research. Numerical studies of structural frequency response of a large-span building with cylindrical-and-slab roof as a large mechanical system were carried out. Finite element model No. 1 “Superstructure-Fixed-end” . The purpose of the study was to develop the methodology for modal analysis of a large-span building structure with a cylindrical-and-slab roof as a mechanical system with a large number of degrees of freedom . Methods. Numerical analysis of the building dynamics was carried out with the use of the САЕ (Computer-aided engineering) software package Femap NX NASTRAN, which implements the finite element method. Results. The “dangerous” resonant frequencies and forms of harmonic oscillations of the structure were revealed, and the sensitivity of the buildings’ reactions to various structural changes was analyzed. Frequency analysis of harmonic response of the building allowed to obtain dependences of amplitude values of nodal displacements (accelerations) and stresses in finite elements from the frequency of the inducing external force. In the next article, it is proposed to conduct a dynamic analysis of a large-span building with a cylindrical-and-slab roof for seismic effects.
