The Numerical Investigation of Cracking Areas under Nonuniform Settlements of the Construction

Abstract

We investigate the tensely-strained state of three-dimensional construction at the measured settlements of the foundation. The numerical model of the construction is developed within the limits of the theory of the plates bending and rectilinear rods, it allows to reveal dangerous places in the strength members particularly in the interfloor plate. The three-dimensional model of the dangerous area is developed, which allows to define the level of damaging the plates material. Settlements levels leading to first cracks and full destruction of the investigated area of the construction are defined.
