1 Introduction

The Arctic and the Antarctic areas are characterized by extreme wind loads that exceed the standardized by SP [1, 2]. These areas are characterized by a significant distance from material and raw material bases and road transport arteries [3]. Under these circumstances, the problem of perception of extreme wind loads must [3,4,5,6] be solved with a minimum consumption of building material [7,8,9]. One of the ways to minimize the consumption of building materials [10] is to use an innovative approach to regulate stress in building structures [11,12,13]. In this work the survey of the effectiveness of applying this approach to the design of a modular building located in the Antarctic conditions [14] with the following characteristics was conducted [15]:

  • Length—54 m.

  • Width—from 18 to 30 m.

  • Number of storeys—2, the height of the first and second floor is 3390 and 3110 mm respectively.

  • The height of the building is 8.31 m.

  • The building is installed on piles buried below the freezing depth.

  • According to the constructive solution, the frame of the building was adopted as a frame-braced one [16].

  • The appointment of the building is a scientific laboratory, with office, communal and residential premises.

The solution to the problem of voltage regulation is assumed in the nodes of building structures using puffs [5, 13, 17,18,19,20].

2 Methods

The software package SCAD++ is used for the calculation [21].

Structural elements:

1. Metal columns—column I-beam 23К1 GOST 26020-83 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7).

Covering load due to its own weight—0.15 t/m2. Snow load—0.19 t/m2. Wind load: upwind side 0.87 t/m2, leeward side—0.55 t/m2.

Before the calculation, the following load combinations cases were compiled (Fig. 8).

3 Results and Discussion

Change in the value of displacement along the x-axis in the first version of the wind load and an increase in the tension of steel ropes from 1 to 25 t [22] (Figs. 9, 10 and 11).
