New type of communication guyed masts and analysis of its behavior

Abstract

Different in height and type ot structure, the guyed masts make-up a fair part of telecommunication structures. These structures are the most effective ones of tall telecommunication structures. The behavior and analysis of such structures is thoroughly presented in many publications. The essential factors effecting stress-strain state in the shaft of a masts are the guys, theit arrangement and pre-tensioning. The guys form a significant part of the weight and price of the whole structure. Consumption of labor for erection of a mast depends directly on number of guys. A rational form of mast structure with the new form of guys is presented in this article. The behavior and influence of the guys upon displacements and forces in mast are analyzed. Comparative analysis of efficiency of the new form of mast structure is given. Comparison of forces and displacements for masts with continuous and combined guys is performed.
