Open latticed steel towers are used widely in a variety of civil engineering applications. The angle sections are commonly used in microwave antenna towers. This paper presents, the analysis of microwave antenna tower with Static and Gust Factor Method (GFM). The comparison is made between the tower with angle and square hollow section. The displacement at the top of the tower is considered as the main parameter. The analysis is also done for different configuration by removing one member as present in the regular tower at lower panels.
GFM, panels, configuration, displacement
