This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Task Committee on the Dynamic Response of Lattice Towers of the Technical Committee on Special Structures and the Technical Administrative Committee on Metals of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report is a compilation and clarification of current methodologies for the dynamic response of communication towers in a single source. The information regarding the dynamic response of lattice towers is currently scattered throughout the literature, making it difficult for the practicing engineer to obtain the information necessary for design purposes. Both self-supporting lattice towers and guyed lattice masts (guyed lattice towers) are included. Topics include: Ødynamics of cables and towers, Ødynamic analysis, Øwind loads and response, Øseismic input and response, and Øvibration control.

Book excerpt: Guyed towers are used for communication purposes and are frequently designed to heights of 300 meters (1000 feet). A guyed tower is a non-linear structure in which the mast, typically consisting of multiple truss members is supported laterally at several points by inclined guy cables. The guy cables are anchored to a foundation and are pre-tensioned. Wind induced vibrations may result in a fatigue failure of a guy anchor linkage or a cable, ultimately causing the collapse of an entire tower. In addition, excessive deflections or vibrations may interfere with communications and control systems resulting in serviceability failure. According to design standards, a basic understanding of the dynamic characteristics of guyed towers is important. This study develops an easy to use software package, aimed at practicing engineers, to determine free-vibration characteristics (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of guyed towers. The analysis presented herein employs the finite element method to determine the naturalfrequencies and mode shapes of guyed towers. The structural system is broken down into two main components, the tower mast and guy cables. Utilizing an equivalent beam-column analysis that take into consideration different lacing patterns, the mast is modelled as a beam-column with equivalent properties. A three-dimensional cable finite element following a catenary or parabolic profile is used to model guy cables. Several comparisons are made to ensure the accuracy of the cable element and the guyed tower model. Selected numerical results are presented for natural frequencies and mode shapes of a few representative towers. The influence of cable tension, lacing pattern of the mast and configuration of guy cables is also examined. The software package can be extended to include forced vibration response through the modal superposition method.

Book excerpt: Several simple tower dynamic analysis methods and computer codes are described and evaluated in this report, by comparison with tower test results. The theory of these methods is first described. The Rayleigh and Rayleigh-Ritz methods, finite element method, and matrix iteration method are presented. Then, four different towers are described to show the correct data input for the methods. A comparison of results from each method to tower test results is given. Recommendations are made as to which methods give adequate results for various towers.

This book was released on 2010-02-08 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to stability design criteria, fully updated and incorporating current research Representing nearly fifty years of cooperation between Wiley and the Structural Stability Research Council, the Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures is often described as an invaluable reference for practicing structural engineers and researchers. For generations of engineers and architects, the Guide has served as the definitive work on designing steel and aluminum structures for stability. Under the editorship of Ronald Ziemian and written by SSRC task group members who are leading experts in structural stability theory and research, this Sixth Edition brings this foundational work in line with current practice and research. The Sixth Edition incorporates a decade of progress in the field since the previous edition, with new features including: Updated chapters on beams, beam-columns, bracing, plates, box girders, and curved girders. Significantly revised chapters on columns, plates, composite columns and structural systems, frame stability, and arches Fully rewritten chapters on thin-walled (cold-formed) metal structural members, stability under seismic loading, and stability analysis by finite element methods State-of-the-art coverage of many topics such as shear walls, concrete filled tubes, direct strength member design method, behavior of arches, direct analysis method, structural integrity and disproportionate collapse resistance, and inelastic seismic performance and design recommendations for various moment-resistant and braced steel frames Complete with over 350 illustrations, plus references and technical memoranda, the Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures, Sixth Edition offers detailed guidance and background on design specifications, codes, and standards worldwide.
