Abstract
Calculations in software systems based on the finite element method (FEM), performed with account for genetic nonlinearity, i.e., assembling, are not feasible for a number of construction problems. In particular, in buildings made of factory-made and cast-in-place concrete, the latter is gradually involved in deformation and external load processes. In reconstructed buildings, during the increase in the element cross-section (e.g., reinforced concrete or metal casing), the reinforcing and reinforced materials are also involved in deformation and external load processes at different time. As a result, there are initial stresses and strains in the "old" part of the element by the time its "new" part installation and strength gain. At the same time, in the reinforcing material or cast-in-place element, the stress-strain state is zero until the additional load is applied.Thus, during the structural analysis, a change in the finite element stiffness is required. But FEM software systems have no finite element capable of changing (increasing) the stiffness. This determines the relevance of the developed algorithm for the structural analysis of factory-made and cast-in-place concrete buildings using the parallel FEM.Purpose: The aim of this work is to improve the parallel FEM and develop a calculation algorithm based on it.Research findings: Based on the parallel FEM, the calculation algorithm is proposed for factory-made and cast-in-place concrete buildings. The proposed algorithm accounts for the structural properties of such buildings, including the gradual involvement of different-aged materials in the deformation process. Using the proposed algorithm, the structural analysis is conducted for the reconstructed system, in which the finite element is replaced by the parallel element, and the hinge coupling of elements is simultaneously replaced by a rigid one.
