METHOD OF DETERMINING WIND LOADS AND IMPACTS USING THE SOFTWARE

Abstract

The current study considers a multifunctional high security residential complex. The study was conducted as part of the scientific and technical support for the design of the construction project. The compliance of design and survey documentation with the established requirements is usually a result of scientific and technical support of design. The methodology of determining wind loans and impacts is implemented with the help of a software package named SOFiSTiK. This software is capable of performing computations of stationary and non-stationary wind loans. Aerodynamic coefficients of drag and lateral force, as well as average pressure values were found as a result of applying the methodology in question. Also, patterns of medium pressure propagation on the surface of facade systems and patterns of medium-velocity fields of the complex were determined.
