Abstract

The investigation of the stability of large objects, such as towers, buildings, bridges, etc. without disturbing the function of the object plays a very important role. This paper deals with the problem how Earth tide waves can be used as in- put signals for this investigation. Two large objects, the TV tower and the church Kecske in Sopron (Hungary) were chosen for tidal measurements. The results prove that tidal signals can be detected and under special circumstances these signals can be used for health monitoring of large objects.
