Tower Crane Wind Load and Swing Dynamics Experimental Data

234.9 KB of raw experimental data underpins the statistical analysis of tower crane nonlinear swing behavior under stochastic wind excitation. The dataset was authored by Yu Sun and published on figshare in April 2026. It contains the measurements used to model load coupling mechanisms and varying windward pressures on flexible tower jibs.

Use Cases

• Model nonlinear swing dynamics from wind excitation data using the raw experimental measurements.
• Analyze load coupling mechanisms by correlating wind pressure data with induced load swing.
• Validate swing prediction algorithms against the experimental records of behavior under different wind directions.
• Study the effects of stochastic versus constant wind excitation on flexible tower jib responses.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed PLOS ONE publication (DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0342197).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for clear reuse.
• Dataset is recent, updated in April 2026.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 234.9 KB, indicating limited experimental scope or few data points.
• Specific column names, row counts, and data structure are unknown from the provided metadata.
• Geographic origin and specific time range of the experiments are not stated.
