VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A THERMAL POWER PLANT WITH WIDE- SPAN AND LONG-LENGTH

Abstract

To obtain the vibration characteristics of a thermal power plant building with wide-span and long-length, we conducted forced vibration tests, numerical analyses correspond to these tests and seismic observation. From these studies, we obtain useful information regarding the vibration characteristics of such structural plant building mentioned above. Moreover, these results show that it is important to consider the stiffness of secondary members in case of small vibration.
