Abstract:
In order to promote the systematic and perfect development and application of FERRIS wheel, authors studied the aspect of the structural style, driving system, supporting design and construction technology. The birth course was introduced and the development and application of FERRIS wheel in the world were summarized. The technical characteristic of FERRIS wheel that differed from general entertainment facility was analyzed. Rigid and flexible structural systems were studied. The driving system and supporting structure were discussed. Three construction methods, which were one-side revolving method, two-side advancing method and revolving around center method as well as the applicability of them were studied. Finally, authors presented the trend of development of FERRIS wheel and the new research subject of FERRIS wheel.
