UNIQUE FERRIS WHEEL
Batumi, Georgia
The Ferris wheel Project in Batumi was created by Bilyk A., Pikul A. and M. Booth, expert architects with the participation of international experts on various stages of work. This unique project was completed by Architecture Outsourcing Services Bahrain-Lithuania-Denmark-Ukrainian team.
Major engineering works have been conducted in the Kyiv National University. Capacity researches made by specialists Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin Inc., Canada with Dunstable equipment lab from Bedfordshire, England. Details of the project executed on the equipment of the plant "Sarmat", Ukraine. All electronic researches and data were taken into account with the help of equipment and specialists of "Lira", Ukraine.
The height of the building, where the wheel is located, is 180 meters. This measure includes the 60 meters height of a steel roof with a decorative "sail" element on the top. The wheel has eight cabins and the overall diameter of it is equal to 18.25 meters.
Calculations have been made based on the approximate weight of all visitors, partial load on the wheel, as well as the amendments to the environmental conditions. For all the tests, the trial design was created in a scale ratio 1 : 400. Other Ferris wheels with similar structures are small in comparison with that, so it is a significant breakthrough. Therefore, the creation of the Project was experimental to some extend .
Each cabin weighs about 5 tons without passengers. One cabin can accommodate up to six people. Landing is possible only when the cabin is at the lowest point of the wheel. The bearing components are made of steel. The total weight of the wheels does not exceed 60 tons, the construction itself without cabins and passengers weight up to 20 tons. Practically, it weighs 18.5 tons normally.
The modern approach to modeling allowed creating a design using both old and reliable technologies and new lightweight. The calculations that have been taken into consideration are the seismic loads, flexibility and rigidity of the structure and elements of the building.
A lot of attention was paid to safety. The construction designed in agreement with safety demands for potential visitors. This applies both to the maximum of fully filled and partially filled cabins. The impact of external environmental factors were also taken into account.
The joints were made using welding. For realizing of complete control, wheel is to be equipped with a monitoring system, associated with the building. Received data can be the basis for other studies of such type.
