Seismic Performance Analysis of a Hollow Tower Structure with Three Prismatic Section

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to better understand seismic performance of tower body structure in a square, the symbol tower finite element model is established using the finite element software ANSYS. Modal analysis is carried out and the first 3 natural frequencies and vibration modes of marking tower are obtained. By selecting 2 group natural seismic waves and a synthetic seismic wave the seismic time-history analysis of the model is performed, the symbol tower response under the earthquake action is obtained and the maximum lateral displacement and the maximum stress of symbol tower meet the standard requirements, so mark tower under earthquake are safe. These can provide reference for the same type of engineering design.
