Use of information technologies for energetic portrait construction of cylindrical reinforced concrete shells

Abstract

The analysis of strain-stress state of new type of architectural and construction system 'Monofant' was examined. The analysis of the advanced graphic, computing software packages was carried out. The possibility of joint applying these packages to the problem of sustainable conjunction study of a rational combination of the geometric parameters of the design-built system "Monofant" was analyzed. From the constructive point of view, the search for the structural element shape that provides a minimum material consumption under desired conditions is of some interest. The approach based on the energy criterion of rationalization was adopted to solve this problem. Fundamentally, new opportunities in the field of building structures optimization are offered with introduction of visual programming complexes adopted for designers (Grasshopper, Dynamo). Applying the described approach to the problem of rationalizing of the constructive system "Monofant" offers the opportunity of constructing, calculating, analyzing and rationalizing of construction that has complex external and internal geometry. An illustration of a possible approach is given in a specific numerical example.
