Dynamic Loading and Response of Observation Towers

Riga Technical University 53rd International Scientific Conference : Dedicated to the 150th Anniversary and the 1st Congress of World Engineers and Riga Polytechnical Institute / RTU Alumni: Digest 2012
Līga Gaile, Ivars Radiņš

The excessive vibrations of some observation towers in Latvia highlights the lack of the understanding and inadequate design information of the building codes, regarding the slender tower dynamic response to human induced loads. Research demonstrates that in areas with a low seismicity and relatively low wind loads the human induced dynamic loads are determinative to a slender and light-weight observation tower design and mostly due to checking the serviceability criteria.
