Effects of Subsoil Characteristics on the Earthquake Loading of Steel Lattice Telecommunication Towers in the South Asia
Self-supporting lattice towers, which are having quite a few unique structural features, play a vital role in communication networks. Ensuring structural stability of these giant structures under all possible natural and human threats are vital as failures of such structures may cause a catastrophic human & property damages. Further, possible communication outages caused by failure of tower/towers in disaster situation are a critical as it may hamper rescue and other emergency operations. This was experienced by South and South East Asian countries during 2004 Tsunami. Hence, need of mitigating these situations have been highlighted by various reports. Therefore, ensuring structural integrity of self-supporting lattice towers under seismic forces is an essential and timely need. This paper discusses a seismic performance of four leg and three leg lattice towers under Response Spectrum analysis under different sub soil conditions. Results of seismic analyseshas also been compared with wind analyses results.
期刊介绍:
The Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering (EJSE) is an international forum for the dissemination and discussion of leading edge research and practical applications in Structural Engineering. It comprises peer-reviewed technical papers, discussions and comments, and also news about conferences, workshops etc. in Structural Engineering. Original papers are invited from individuals involved in the field of structural engineering and construction. The areas of special interests include the following, but are not limited to: Analytical and design methods Bridges and High-rise Buildings Case studies and failure investigation Innovations in design and new technology New Construction Materials Performance of Structures Prefabrication Technology Repairs, Strengthening, and Maintenance Stability and Scaffolding Engineering Soil-structure interaction Standards and Codes of Practice Structural and solid mechanics Structural Safety and Reliability Testing Technologies Vibration, impact and structural dynamics Wind and earthquake engineering. EJSE is seeking original papers (research or state-of the art reviews) of the highest quality for consideration for publication. The papers will be published within 3 to 6 months. The papers are expected to make a significant contribution to the research and development activities of the academic and professional engineering community.
