Test monitoring of the Centennial Hall’s dome, Wroclaw (Poland)

Abstract

Monitoring can be defined as any technique or method used to measure the technical condition of a structure. There are various categories of monitoring based on different criteria, e.g. monitoring goals, types of measurement (static, dynamic), testing characteristics (destructive, quasi-destructive, non-destructive), time period of monitoring etc. The authors of the paper present a concept for a monitoring programme for the Centennial Hall in Wroclaw. They present also preliminary results of displacement measurements of the lower tension ring of the Hall obtained used optical methods.
