Bending of the tower
Thread Content
What factors are related to the bending of towers, and how can it be prevented?
It’s hard to say; design, materials, manufacturing, installation – all of these can cause bending in the tower, so it’s necessary to check each factor one by one.
It depends on the diameter and length of your tower; if the straightness is satisfactory during the manufacturing process, it’s likely caused by the installation process
It is related to the self-oscillation period, eccentric loads, and straightness deviations during manufacturing; it can increase the stiffness of the tower and reduce its height, and attention should be paid to straightness during manufacturing to control this factor.
By bending, does the poster mean in the design phase or during installation and transportation? It wasn’t explained clearly
