Influence of star mounts on guyed towers

The ability of star mounts to minimize angular displacements of guyed towers has been investigated. Deflections and rotations of an example tower with and without a star mount (under a static wind pressure) have been determined. A new model of the star mount, used with the equivalent beam-column app...

Description
Summary:The ability of star mounts to minimize angular displacements of guyed towers has been investigated. Deflections and rotations of an example tower with and without a star mount (under a static wind pressure) have been determined. A new model of the star mount, used with the equivalent beam-column approach analysis of guyed towers, has been introduced. Its efficiency has been illustrated by comparing its results to those of the more accurate space truss idealization.
