Validating wind load analyses for static pulling tests

Date Sun 01 November 2020 Tags Tree dynamics / Pulling test Lang de

Three studies compared the wind load estimated from dynamic measurements of root plate tilt in storms to the results of a standard pulling test software. For most trees, both estimates were in close agreement.

About Steffen Rust
Steffen Rust is Professor of Arboriculture at the University of Applied Science and Art in Göttingen, Germany. His main fields of research are non-destructive methods for tree risk assessment and tree water relations.
He is one of the developers of stress wave tomography for trees.
Recent studies concentrate on ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography for stems and root systems, as well as static pulling tests, analysis of tree vibration, and the application of artificial intelligence in tree risk assessment.
