Expert survey and determination of the causes of column vibrations

Conducting an expert survey of the column in connection with its periodic undesirable vibrations during operation. The survey was performed to:

• Determine the reasons for column vibrations.
• Assess the possible actions aimed at eliminating or reducing vibrations and potentially reducing the time of exposure to them.
• Analyse the influence of vibration loads on the level of wear of the column and its foundation.
• Draw up final recommendations, including the safe usage methods and conditions for the column.

The following were performed:

• Static structural analysis
• Static FEM analysis
• Modal analysis
• CFD flow calculations
• Analysis of building design correctness for the foundation
