History
The tower was intended for the All-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition , which was held May 28 (June 9) - October 1 (13), 1896 in Nizhny Novgorod , and is the first Shukhov construction of this kind.
After the end of the exhibition, at the end of 1896, the tower was transferred to the estate of the philanthropist Yu. S. Nechaev-Maltsov , the village of Polybino near Kulikov Field .
Description
The construction is the world's first hyperboloid construction [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] .
The single-sheeted hyperboloid of rotation of the first Shukhov tower is formed by 80 straight steel profiles, the ends of which are attached to the ring bases. The steel mesh shell of diamond-shaped intersecting profiles is reinforced with 8 parallel steel rings located between the bases. All steel structural elements of the tower are connected by rivets .
The total height of the tower is 37 meters. The height of the hyperboloid shell of the tower (excluding the heights of the foundation, reservoir and superstructure for viewing) is 25.2 meters. The diameter of the lower ring base is 10.9 meters, the upper - 4.2 meters. The maximum diameter of the tank is 6.5 meters, height - 4.8 meters. From the ground level, a beautiful steel spiral staircase rises from the center of the base of the tower to the level of the bottom of the tank . In the central part, the tank has a cylindrical passage with a straight staircase leading to the observation deck on the upper surface of the tank.
A hyperboloid superstructure with a straight easy staircase leading to a higher small observation deck was made above the observation deck on the tank. The superstructure is mounted of 8 direct profiles abutting against the annular bases, between which there is another reinforcing ring. The upper platform initially had wooden flooring and a fence, but they were not preserved.
