Topicality of Computer Simulation in the Construction Industry
One of the competitiveness increase methods in the construction industry is to reduce the costs of construction and maintenance without loss of reliability. Until quite recently, optimal design solutions were based on the simplified engineering methods of structural analysis that do not require complex computations. Simplified methods are based on analytical expressions that do not describe complex processes accurately. The use of such simplified computation leads to the application of excessive safety factors and, consequently, to unreasonable price increase. It is important to note that for many construction tasks the simplified computation methods cannot be used at all.
Currently the computer simulation based on complex models of environment becomes increasingly widespread in the construction engineering. Computations exploit numerical methods of solving the differential equations. Such an approach yields a very realistic result that helps to optimize the structure design and significantly reduce production costs.
