Comparison of design procedures for cellular telecommunication tower bodies
Abstract: There are considered the problems of cellular telecommunication tower stability. The existing design methods for tower stability have been analyzed. The design of tower stability by the exact and approximate methods was realized with the help of a computer. There were carried out some numerical experiments on the base of three cellular telecommunication towers: with two, three and four levels of guys as high as 18, 28, and 38 m, respectively. There are given the research results. The results of the exact and approximate design methods are compared by the factors of stability margin of the structures which were determined by two methods for three towers. Stability coefficients of separate pillars for these towers were designed by the standard procedure of designing axially-loaded pillars, by Euler and Yasinsky’s formulae. The results obtained by the exact and approximate design methods are compared both between themselves and with the standard procedure of designing axially-loaded pillars, by Euler and Yasinsky’s formulae. The obtained data being analyzed, there are given recommendations of designing stability for mobile communication towers. An influence of structure rigidity on tower stability is investigated with the help of the approximate design method.
