Abstract

This paper describes a research project undertaken at the Building Research Station to measure wind pressures on the GPO Tower, London, and dynamic strains in the tower shaft. The development of a suitable pressure transducer, which uses strain gauges as sensors, is described together with the installation at the tower. Some of the problems of strain gauging large civil engineering structures are outlined.
