DETERMINATION OF TENSIONS OF SUSPENDED ROPES OF THE BRIDGE BY FREQUENCY OF NATURAL OSCILLATIONS

Igor Gameliak Sergii Kriuchatov Yevhen Oksen

The article deals with the issues of development and use of equipment for digital measurements of rope tension based on the frequency of free transverse oscillations. accurate measurement of rope tension is of practical importance. The relevance of this task for the national economy of Ukraine lies in the need to develop a simple and reliable method and equipment for quick and convenient measurement by construction engineers and operating engineers of rope tension in the construction industry. The practical significance of the work lies in the need to timely bring the span structure of the Arch Bridge of the Podilsky bridge crossing over the Dnipro River in Kyiv to the design position after the installation of metal structures with the transfer of the weight of the bridge truss to four main supports and 64 suspension cables with full unloading of four mounting supports for further arrangement of the bridge deck and completion of construction works. The object of the research is the process of measuring the tension of suspension ropes from the own weight of the metal part of the bridge during bringing the truss of the Arch Bridge to the design position of the metal structural elements of the bridge. The subject of the study is the determination of the impact of the combined movement of the upper attachment points (threaded cylindrical couplings) of 64 suspended ropes on the redistribution of the frequencies of natural oscillations and tensions in their contours. The conducted research made it possible to develop specialized equipment for measuring and recording vibration signals of hanging ropes
