Model and Seismic Analysis of Transmission Tower with I, C and Circular Sections Using Finite Element Analysis

In the contemporary era, the telecommunication industry plays a great role in human societies and thus much more attention is now being paid to telecommunication towers than it was in the past. Many of the towers were failed for seismic load. Once happens the earthquake, the transmission line may collapse, it will cause economic loss, fire and whole society paralyze and also produce great difficulties to relief and emergency recovery by using stable steel section for the construction of tower we can resist the collapse. Therefore it is necessary to find the best steel section for stable microwave tower. In this work, the structural strength of microwave transmission tower with different steel section (I, C and circular) were analyzed under seismic loading conditions using ANSYS and the best stable steel section was found out.
