Abstract
The main goal of this chapter is to propose a simplified procedure to accomplish the dynamic analysis of pre-cast RC (reinforced concrete) telecommunication towers subjected to wind loads. With the methodology proposed here, only the static results and the first natural frequency of vibration are needed to accomplish the dynamic analysis of a given structure. The method is easier and faster than the traditional dynamic analysis approach. In this work, results of the dynamic and static analysis of 90 real structures are used in the optimization process. The difference between the results given by the simplified method proposed here and the complete dynamic analysis are less than 2 %.
