According to the results of research on complex engineering objects, results were obtained that demonstrate significant deviations from the models of buildings and structures that are used as the basis for calculating seismic resistance and structural stability. Firstly, it is the existence of reflecting seismic oscillations of the boundaries inside the building, when standing waves form a common field for the building as a whole and a local field for a part of the object, secondly, a block structure of the object, when there are natural oscillations of different multiplicity with a different area of the object’s coverage, when some blocks independently oscillate, they unite into one system; thirdly, the existence of walls with double reflecting properties, which changes the field of standing waves; fourthly, the complex geometry of the object causes the fields of standing waves, It is described by two wave numbers. Experimental data show that in the theory of buildings it is necessary to move to the models of nested resonators, models of coupled resonators, and the verification of models should be entrusted to the standing wave method.

At present time according to development of high-rise house-building dynamic monitoring systems of such objects obtain actuality. Standing waves method, developed in Geophysical Survey of SB RAS, allows allocate forms of natural vibration with high accuracy. In this paper experience of usage standing waves method for determination of real dynamic features of highrise 40-storey complex «Dirigible» in Moscow is presented. Comparison of real standing waves with theoretical calculations of mathematical models, created in Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, was done.
