Computer-Aided Analysis of Mechanical Safety of Stadiums for the World Cup 2018 in Russia : Part 1: Introduction, Creation of Finite Element Models, Structural Analysis at Basic Combinations of Loads and Impacts

The presented series of papers deal with theoretical foundations and the results of numerical simulation of the state of football stadiums built for the World Cup 2018, which was held in Russia. In particular, stress-strain state determination, strength analysis and stability analysis of the corresponding objects are under consideration. The distinctive paper describes some features of the creation of appropriate correct computational models and some problems and achievements in the field of structural analysis at basic combinations of loads and impacts.
