Dynamic Analysis of Pre-Cast RC Telecommunication Towers Using a Simplified Model

The main goal of this chapter is to propose a simplified procedure to accomplish the dynamic analysis of pre-cast RC (reinforced concrete) telecommunication towers subjected to wind loads. With the methodology proposed here, only the static results and th

Preface

Design and analysis of materials and structures is nowadays an important discipline which enables a better and more reliable application of engineering components. Furthermore, limits of materials and structure can be accurately determined which may influence the design process and result, for example, in much lighter structure
