What is it about?

Article proposes a comprehensive approach to the formation of the program sequence surveys of industrial buildings equipped with overhead cranes. Authors formalized synthesis algorithm that reveals the concept essence of the probabilistic method application to the study of changes in the stress-strain state of the industrial building frame during its operation taking into account the variability impacts. The calculation of the reliability and durability is based on the method of limiting states. The implementation of this method makes it possible to take into account the random nature of not only the combination of existing loads, but also the strength properties of building materials by constructing a system of safety factors.

Why is it important?

Thus, the present study aimed to assess the reliability of an industrial building resolved the following issues: - development of mathematical models for the static and dynamic loads alculation of buildings and structures; - forecasting the stability of the building to internal and external influences after a certain period of operation based on the calculated regressions; - definition of fictitious load and performance functions of the building, taking into account the dynamics of stress in the individual structural elements of the frame arising under the influence of a factors combination; - formation of residual life assessment, based on a system of safety factors; - creation of software package, serving as a tool to automate the process of calculation, analyzing and forecasting of changes in building performance and the timing of its further safe operation.

Perspectives

«DINCIB-new» implementation allows stepwise decision for the following problems: - design of large amounts of input data and analysis output results; - performing of static and dynamic calculations under the influence of the crane and seismic loads with multiple implementation of algorithms; - accumulation of statistical information about the behavior of the frame structures by varying the parameters of the load characteristics at the specified range in order to build dynamic images of the system; - solving the inverse problem, which allows adjusting the stiffness matrix depending on the change of the displacements in calculated points of the frame; - forecasting on the degree of object’s efficiency reduction in future periods; - planning of minor and major repairs of structural elements of the building. Synthesis algorithm and its software package are tools for data processing of technical surveys of certain industrial building equipped with overhead cranes, in order to determine the time of its trouble-free operation.
