COMPUTER MODELING OF BUILDING STRUCTURES

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (68) December, 2019

The article describes computer modeling of permanent building structures based on the finite element method. The finite element calculation methods (FEM) are compared with approximate computation. Using computer modeling of a structural plate as an example, a dramatic decrease in the weight of metal structures is shown in comparison with the approximate computation method. The experience of teaching the discipline "Computer Modeling of Building Structures" to architecture students at the Ural State University of Architecture and Art is presented with examples of complex building structure design performed independently by students using the LIRA-SAPR software package for their final graduation work.

TRANSLUCENT CONSTRUCTIONS AS A MEANS OF IMPARTING EXPRESSIVENESS TO ARCHITECTURAL SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT OF PARKINGS

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (64) December, 2018

The rationalism of the new time has led to solutions that allow achieving the sustainable development of urban environments in the interests of citizens and parking space users improving their quality of life. The article deals with the integration of transport infrastructure facilities - parking spaces in modern urban environment. The development of a parking space as an architectural and major construction object is analyzed when placed in an urban context taking into account the compensatory mechanisms through the use of various types of spatial organization ensuring technological completeness, operation and esthetic expressiveness through the use of translucent walling. The use of various types of glass in translucent structures in the facade solutions for parking lots is not only a design method but also a means of enhancing the esthetics of not only residential but also public environment in a city, the habitat of modern city dweller.
