STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF FRAME STRUCTURES AT THE DIFFERENT SNOW PRESSURE

The multi-variant loading of the large-span unique steel covering of the stadium under snow load is considered. The spatial finite element model is developed using LIRA software. The analysis of the existing schemes application of snow loading is carried out according to the codes. Four snow load cases on the stadium's covering are assumed for analysis. The analysis of the stress-strain state of the stadium structures, the selection and verification of sections of the steel covering are performed. The results show that it is necessary to simulate behaviour of a structure under all possible load cases.

STUDY OF A DURABILITY OF THE MEMBRANE LAYER OF A LONG-SPAN SUPERSTRUCTURE

The study of the membrane coating of large-span structures is carried out. Five stages of installation and operation of the coating are considered. The uneven snow pressure on the coating was calculated and applied to the finite element model of the structure. Based on the results, the authors also provide conclusions and summary about the considered structure. Two options of emergency cases have been investigated. The results showed that the support contour is a key element of the structure. The failure of any element, connection except of the support contour does not lead to plastic deformations in the coating.
