DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF 4-LEGGED STEEL TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER

The four legged self-supporting towers are widely used worldwide for the telecommunication purposes. The communication industries have seen a tremendous increase in last few years which have resulted in installation of large number of towers to increase the coverage area and network consistency. These are lifeline structures; they play a significant role in wireless communication network. Hence failure of such structures in a disaster like wind and earthquake is a major concern. Therefore utmost importance should be given in considering all possible extreme conditions for designing these towers. The design of these steel telecommunication towers are done by the STAAD.PRO, for this “automatic selection of members based on reanalysis procedure with fixed group select optimized section” method is adopted.
