Experimental testing of support column on Dubrovnik - Srđ cableway

Dubrovnik – Srđ cableway was originally designed and built in 1969. During the homeland war in Croatia, the cableway was totally destroyed, only the support column remained in satisfactory state. New cableway was built in 2010. and the support column needed to be redesigned and strenghten to withstand higher loads of new cabins and to satisfy nowadays european standards. To confirm that redesign was succesful, experimental testing was conducted. Cableway's lenght is 800 m and two cabins whose speed is 6, 5 m/s have a capacity of 30 people. Testing was divided in two phases: determination of column's dynamic parameters and determination of effect of running cableway on support column. Besides dynamic parameters, strain was monitored in base of column.
