Abstract
Telecommunication services are recognized as a crucial catalyst for the socio-economic advancement of a country. Mast and towers created, maintained and intended for those particular purposes are the physical supports of these services. These services are physically sustained by masts and towers that are specifically designed, built, and maintained for those specific functions. The stability of this structure is a significant concern. When constructing telecommunication towers, it is important to identify an efficient cross section from many materials available in order to ensure the stability of the structure in different conditions. The primary aim of this study is to determine the most effective material cross section for the leg member and the belt/bracing member of a telecommunication tower. This will be achieved by conducting a comparative examination of telecommunication towers at four different heights. The initial stage involves the modeling of the towers, which is then followed by an analysis and design of the telecommunication towers has been conducted for various wind zones using the IS:875 (Part 3)-1987 specification. The study also includes different material cross sections for the leg members and bracing/belt members at various heights. This analysis is conducted to compare the displacement and member forces of the tower based on the findings received from wind loading. The results of this comparative analysis illustrate the effectiveness of a specific combination of the tower member cross section as a leg member and bracing/belt member, which can be utilized for communication purposes with enhanced stability.
