Study of Vibrations of Bearing Structures in the Bell Tower Gate Church of Danilov Monastery during Ringing of the Set of Historical Bells

Abstract

In September 2008, the historical set of bells was returned to Moscow’s Danilov Monastery. The bells, with a total weight of 27 tons, were placed in the bell tower using a new suspension system. The article presents the results of estimating the vibration parameters of the structural elements of the bell tower and the gate church in terms of existing safety standards. Measurements were carried out at 19 points using Güralp CMG-6T three-axis broadband velocimeters. The research led to the conclusion that the vibration impact on the bell tower and church does not exceed the existing standards of permissible vibration impacts on architectural monuments.
