5 PROJECT TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS : STRUCTURAL VULNERABILITY AND BASES FOR CUBAN CODE
6 MISSION To develop advanced studies on the area of Civil Engineering, which are applied mainly at analysis and design of lattice steel structures.
7 GENERAL AIMS To develop researches which allow reducing structural vulnerability of telecommunication towers, as well as introducing the results in the professional practice. The results should corresponding with world develop in this topic. To create the bases for future national code for telecommunication towers.
8 Senior Researchers (3) PhD candidates (2) Master candidates (4) MEMBERS OF THE GROUP Chair: Vivian Elena, PhD Students of Civil Engineering (15)
9 GUIDELINES Fluid (wind)-structure Interaction METHODS COMPUTATIONAL Dynamic Analysis of Structures EXPERIMENTAL Failures Analysis
10 RESEARCH RESULTS (1) Studies of structural failure on telecommunication lattice towers. Studies of anchors asymmetry in guyed towers under static wind forces. Evaluation of non-linear analysis of guyed tower. Changes on structural behaviour of guyed towers with outriggers.
11 RESEARCH RESULTS (2) Influence of variations on boundary conditions of the foundation in the mast in a guyed latticed tower mast.

17 Summary Cyclone Name Year Max. Wind (km/h) Saffir Simpson Scale above Cuba Max. wind registered in Cuba (averg. 1 min) (km/h) Max. wind equivalent Cuban code. (averg. 10 min) Towers in area of speed winds higher 100km/h Total Failures Towers Lili ? Georges ? Michelle > Isidore Lili Charley > Iván Arlene TT < Dennis Wilma Total 42 13
18 Summary of Period Estimated wind speeds less than 165 Km/h on failure towers (except two towers) Guyed masts were 70 % of failure towers. 80% of failures were guyed mast with asymmetric anchors
19 Failures Failures on elements foundation, anchors, cables. Presence of a large number of antennas at the moment of the failure
20 Failures Connection Failures Flexion-torsion efforts
21 Conclusions Wind pressure on towers was lower than 0.9 kn/m 2 in the 60% of failures towers. The 80% failures towers were localized on high topography zones where the increments of wind pressure are higher than 100 %. The 70% failures towers were between 30 and 40 years old.these had more numbers of antennas in comparison with the time when they were built. Probable causes of failures on the towers: Increments of efforts due to a large number of antennas. Presence of asymmetric anchors which was not considered in the initial design of the towers. High non-lineal behavior which was not considered in the structural compute for the speed winds that influenced on the tower. No tension enough on the cables due to the passage of the time and lack of maintenance.

30 CONCLUSIONS Results of this investigation show that asymmetry on anchors levels of guyed mast, under extreme wind loads, has a great influence on the magnitude of forces in all members; this condition, frequently disregarded in mast design, can produces a significant increase in expected vulnerability of the mast. Relative increments in internal forces in asymmetric models in relation to symmetric models were observed in all members. Both asymmetry and cable topology have a significant influence on internal forces in members of the mast under wind loading, but interaction between these factors was found to be not important compared to their isolated effects on structural response. According to results of the performed structural analysis, larger increments of forces were found on columns; consequently these are the more vulnerable elements of asymmetric guyed mast under extreme wind action. Comparison with actual failures of guyed masts under hurricane winds confirmed these results.
