Failure Investigations on Microwave Lattice Towers during Cyclones
Along the coastal regions of India, many microwave lattice towers have collapsed during cyclones with lesser wind speeds than the design basic wind speed. Hence, failure investigations have been carried out to identify the possible failure reasons by considering the cyclone wind characteristics, viz. turbulence intensity and turbulence spectrum.
Full-scale Investigations on Free Standing and Guyed Lattice Towers
Lattice steel towers are used for a number of diverse purposes, namely, telecommunications, radio and television broadcasting, observation, power transmission and lighting supports, etc. The need to design a lattice tower for resonant dynamic response due to wind load arises when the natural vibration frequency (fundamental frequency) of the structure is low enough to be excited by the turbulence in the natural wind.
