Influence of relative spacing (a/d) on the aerodynamic drag of a vertical cable route
Introduction In telecommunications structures, it is often necessary to route multiple cables along a tower or mast. Due to their length and location, these cables are subject to significant wind loads. The magnitude of these loads depends, among other factors, on the cable diameter, wind velocity a...
Using CFD Analysis to determine loads on an existing telecommunications tower and shorten the investment process by 6 months
Introduction Designing tall structures in the telecommunications industry has relied on conservative empirical-analytical procedures contained in wind standards for years. Although the PN-EN 1991-1-4 (Eurocode 1) and PN-EN 1993-3-1 (Eurocode 3) standards guarantee safety when designing telecommunica...
