Abstract
Steel lattice towers have large application in meteorology, and are regularly exposed to loads difficult to determine reliably, like wind and ice, and especially wind gusts and accompanied structural vibrations. EN 1993-3-1 treats such structures and requires checking of vibrations, but does not supply methodology for it, neither allowed values for deformation and vibrations. The paper presents analysis of a tower 110 m high using the Finite Element Method (FEM), in case of wind gust, for iced and non-iced structure, both statically and dynamically. The results were compared and recommendations for future treatment of such sensitive structures were given.
