Abstract:
A method for testing the stability of a vertically anchored mast, with which the mast is loaded with an increasing force F1 introduced about an anchoring of the mast, wherein this force and a measure S1 about which the mast on account of the force effect is laterally deflected in one direction, where appropriate are acquired and there results a function f1=F1(S1), and with which the mast after completion of the loading procedure is again unloaded, wherein a restoring force F2 of the mast, reducing with the unloading procedure is acquired in dependency on reducing lateral deflection S2 as a restoring movement, wherein there results a function f2=F2(S2), and wherein a course of said function f1 and of said function f2 are used to provide information on a stability of the mast and said anchoring is obtained.
