Abstract

The stability analyses are carried out for 45 mathematical models of 3 guyed towers which are erected in Egypt in order to find their buckling strength. The guyed mast heights are 100, 125 and 150 meters. The finite deflection theory technique is used in the analyses.

A non-dimensional shear stiffness factor is introduced. This factor helps to find an approximate formula out of the results of the mathematical models for the critical load of the guyed towers.

The finite deflection theory predict precisely the structural behaviour of the guyed towers. The developed formula, however, offers a significant aid for the design of these towers.
