Effect of Antenna Operation on Structure and Foundation Behavior, TTR Tower, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico,
Abstract
The report describes the techniques used to instrument a Nike-Zeus target tracking radar (TTR) tower located at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), N. Mex., and the study conducted to determine the effects of operation of the structure's antenna in regard to flexural movement of the core of the structure and the foundation slab. Specifically, this study was conducted to determine the displacements, frequencies, and direction and phase of movement of the TTR structure, and the acceleration, rise time, maximum velocity, and deceleration of the antenna movement.
