Optimal Design of 2-D Frames Using a Genetic Algorithm
Evaluating Earthquake Hazards
Earthquake hazards vary considerably in different parts of the country. The effect of an earthquake on telecommunication systems is influenced by the magnitude of the earthquake, the proximity...
Guyed Structures Configurations
This section considers guyed structure configurations, such as single poles or masts, stub poles, H-frames, rigid frames, and masted towers....
Analysis
This section presents theoretical and practical concepts for the analysis of guyed transmission structures. The concepts are further illustrated in the examples of Section 8. The term...
