  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the structural performance analysis of a guyed transmission tower under combined wind and seismic loading using STAAD.Pro software. The study considers different seismic zones based on Indian standards to evaluate displacement, stress distribution, and overall stability. Results indicate that the guyed tower exhibits minimum lateral displacement of 0.0013 mm, confirming its superior resistance against dynamic loads. The inclusion of guy wires effectively reduces bending moments and axial stresses in the main tower members, enhancing overall stability. Displacement values increase with seismic zone intensity, with the maximum observed in Zone V, demonstrating the influence of seismic activity on tower behavior. The analysis concludes that guyed towers are efficient for moderate- height installations, ensuring material economy and structural safety. The findings highlight the importance of proper guy wire tensioning, bracing, and joint detailing to achieve optimal performance under combined loading conditions.
