Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Application of IBIS microwave interferometer for measuring normal-mode vibrational frequencies of industrial chimneys(2010) Kuras, Przemysław; Oruba, Rajmund; Kocierz, RafałThe frequency values of normal mode of vibrations constitute one of the key elements of the technical characteristics of high industrial chimneys. The article presents the surveying of chimneys normal modes of vibrations with the use of a microwave interferometer. The system IBIS Image by Interferometric Survey is a modern measuring device, operating on the principle of microwave interferometry. This innovative surveying technique can be used for precise measurements of dislocations and strains of building structures. It allows remote measurements from the distance up to 1000 m. The high frequency of recording allows the use of this particular device for dynamic surveying of building structures. The paper presents a general technical characteristics of the interferometer. The need for conducting dynamic monitoring of industrial chimneys has been discussed. The article also presents the results of Poland's first frequency measurements of normal modes of vibrations carried out on two reinforced concrete chimneys of the height of 260 m with an interferometric radar.
