NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF A LARGE-SPAN STRUCTURE WITH JOINTS WITH GAP UNDER THE SEISMIC LOADS IN A TRANSIENT DYNAMIC

Abstract

The article presents the results of numerical simulation of a unique long-span structure subjected to seismic loads. The roof and facade of structures were connected to reinforced concrete base with joints with gaps. The simulation was realized for ideal model and model with gap imperfections. Various modeling approaches for the joints and the resulting dynamic response were examined.
