Investigation of the Load-Carrying Capacity of Barretes for a 56-Storey Residential Building

Resumo

We present the results of full-scale tests of barretes in the area of future building of a 56-storey residential building in Moscow. These tests were performed with an aim to determine admissible loads caused by the action of soil upon the barretes. We present the results of numerical analyses of a barrette by the finite-element method with the help of the "MIDAS GTS NX" software complex and show the principal possibility of application of this method for the analyses of barretes with an accuracy admissible for practical purposes.
