The global analysis of a structure on the basis of precast building

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present a global analysis of a precast, reinforced building structure. At the design stage, information about structural behaviour of particular elements and the whole structure as well as its response to applied loads are obtained. While solving the problem, the load-bearing elements and the type and deformability of connections have to be defined. The latter is especially significant in the case of precast structure models. Calculations according to the analytical method are going to be verified by the finite element method.
