VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS AT A NEW MONUMENT IN NUR-SULTAN CITY

The construction of unique structures is complicated by the fact that codes and standards do not exactly apply to such structures. This paper presents an overview analysis, design, wind tunnel testing field monitoring a 70 m high monument was constructed in capital city Nur-Sultan Republic Kazakhstan. constitutes useful example constraints imposed unique, one-of-a-kind natural frequencies monument, determined from measured accelerations, differed slightly analytically computed values. Scale models were study response monument. Pressure distribution on surfaces scaled model building recorded at different speeds angles. These equipped with sensors average component pressure pulsating pressure. effect angles determining drag coefficient also performed. Based aforementioned analyses light results tests scale 4-chord truss selected as structural backbone chords consist pipes are connected system webs. Cladding then attached give its desired esthetics facilitate aerodynamics. tuning two mass damper systems installed described.
