Summary

The research described in this paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of the structural behaviour and the response of steel towers subject seismic actions using seismic records. Since high towers, for their geometrical characteristics, their slenderness and for their thin walls, are structures that dissipate less energy than others, such as buildings, they likewise have reduced damping. So, the study described in this paper provides a numerical simulation using the finite element method. In the modelling the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of a real structure have to be taken into account. The important manner of the boundary conditions at the base of the steel tower is studied. The transmission to the concrete support is through steel anchors, which differs from the ideal embedding restrictions, so the modelling in this area is made with contact elements to represent the possible lifting and sliding of the tower. Finally, numerical results are compared with the theoretical methods, observing a good correlation between them, so that, the structural response of the tower by step by step analysis is also studied.
