Design of 4-legged self supporting telecommunication tower

With the rapid increase of mobile users the telecommunication tower is also changes the basic infrastructure to human needs so the telecommunication industries have seen huge increase in few years. In wireless communication system the tower structure is the major role for carrying loads. Therefore the importance should be given in considering all possible conditions for designing the towers. In many research and studies are majorly considered the wind forces only but in this dissertation, studies are been carried out about design of 45m height self supporting tower with combination of K and X bracing for seismic along with the wind effect. Specific codes like IS802, Steel Table, IS1893, and IS800:2007 are used to design a tower. Gust factor is used for wind analysis from the Indian seismic code for practice for Zone-III and Seismic analysis by using response spectrum method. The connections are bolted with Butt joints and the structure is analyzed using Staad pro vi8 software and the results are obtained from analysis and tabulated.
