Review article

The article is devoted to the numerical method simulation of the stress-strain state of a high-rise brick building on pile foundation. The calculations were performed by the finite element method applying MicroFe, a verified software computing complex, which allows using of the calculation model in the «base- foundation-building» system. The calculations were performed using two calculation schemes, namely, with linear task formulation and with constructively nonlinear task formulation with the usage of unidirectional non-linear ties between node elements and soil volume elements. In the nonlinear task formulation, when limiting the allowable design load on the piles, there takes place a redistribution of forces between the piles through the grillage.
