Analysis of 3D wall building structures dynamic response
T. Chyzy, J. Kretowska and Cz. Miedzialowski

 
Abstract
    Three-dimensional description of building structure taking into consideration soil-structure interaction is a very complex problem and solution of this problem is often obtained by using finite element method. However, this method takes a significant amount of computational time and memory. Therefore, an efficient computational model based on subdivision of the structure into building elements such as wall and floor slab elements, plane and three-dimensional joints and lintels, that could provide accurate results with significantly reduced computational time, is proposed in this study for the analysis three-dimensional structures subjected to dynamic load. The examples prove the efficiency and the computing possibilities of the model.
 
Key Words
    three-dimensional building elements; super elements; dynamic problem formulation; finite element method.
