• Abstract:
  Phase 1 field monitoring of four high-mast lighting towers (HMLTs) was previously reported on in March 2020. Due to the rare nature of the large amplitude vibration events, a second phase of monitoring was conducted to continue collecting data and to maximize the potential for recording the rare data. Similar to Phase 1, monitoring, Phase 2 included four HMLT instrumented with sensors to monitor weather and structural response to wind-induced vibrations. The four HMLTs were in different locales within the state of Wyoming, each site being selected specifically due to a history of failed HMLTs at those locations, or nearby. Several HMLTs have failed in recent years, some catastrophically, within Wyoming, from fatigue crack growth at the base plate-to-tube wall welds. Hence, the motivation for the study.
