In this paper a numerical and analytical analysis of the supporting construction of the basketball basket has been conducted. Firstly, the whole construction was modeled in Solidworks software package. Geometry and type of constructions were selected according to examples of outside basketball courts in Zagreb, whereby dimensions were measured. Before the analysis of the strength, verification of used final elements was conducted on the simpler problem and convergence of the solution, depended on the number and the way that final elements were installed on the construction, was examined. As the construction is made of the beam elements of the tube cross-section, verification is accordant with this conducted on the problem with spatial beam elements. After the verification, numerical analysis was conducted, and the analytical calculation of the supporting construction of the basketball basket was done. Supporting construction is loaded with the weight of the human holding by the basket during the dunking action. Numerical analysis is conducted using the method of final elements, using the Abaqus software package. After that, the analytical calculation was done using the matrix method. Afterward, the comparison of the results was performed. In the end, according to the given results and their comparison, the conclusion was made and the idea of the reconstruction of the supporting construction of the basket is presented.
