Abstract

The paper describes the results of the monitoring of an elevated steel water-tank with unusual shape, 85 m high and 40 m wide. The research was carried out analysing both the static and dynamic behaviour under wind actions. The instruments used (some of which were employed for the first time for this project) are described and the data processing procedures are discussed. Comparison between the experimental results and those obtained through a numerical model gives interesting information both on the structural behaviour and on the characterisation of wind actions.
