The article presents the derivation of the resolving equations for calculating centrally compressed concrete filled steel tubular columns of circular cross-section taking into account the effect of lateral compression and physical nonlinearity. When deriving the resolving equations, forced deformations are also taken into account, which may include creep deformations, shrinkage, and temperature deformations. Finally, the problem is reduced to a system of three equations with three unknowns for the contact pressure between the shell and the concrete core p and stresses along z in concrete and steel. As equations establishing the relationship between stresses and instantaneous deformations, the relations of the deformation theory of concrete plasticity by G.A. Geniev are used, in which dilatational deformations of concrete are taken into account. The developed technique is implemented in the Matlab environment and tested on the experimental data of A.I. Sagadatov. The agreement between experiment and theory is good enough. The constructed model is based on the most general relations of solid mechanics and is free of empirical coefficients.

The article presents the dynamic calculation of a unique building’s structure with spatial slab-bar scheme in the action of wind loads with the static and dynamic components of the wind load, using the finite element method. Simulation of the wind effect was produced on the basis of modal analysis. There were determined horizontal and vertical relocations of the node points. Using the findings of the calculations the conclusions were drawn and given recommendations about changing the constructive scheme of the unique building.
