Abstract:

Monitoring of special structures is more and more widely spread to estimate their state while in use. The forecast reliability is conditioned by a quality of the observation program, equipment and apparatuses, by means of processing and analysis of the observation results. For this purpose there was established a Site for testing PTL supports and tower structures. The Ukrainian Site is a unique universal test bed for static and dynamic tests of both separate constructions and a structure in whole with a continuous recording of time-dependent parameters and processing of the signals obtained, and for studying and collecting statistical information on weather changes and micrometeorological peculiarities of nature effects on a specific object. To solve these tasks, there was developed and approved a universal multi parameter information-measurement system. Within the Site there was developed and introduced an automated frost-wind weather-station intended for automatic measurement of the environment hydro-meteorological parameters. There was also established an electronic-computing complex to perform full-scaled investigations of wind loads under real conditions of a surrounding housing.
