tower load combination
(OP)
This is my first time to design 230kV transmission tower and 60m tall communication tower. I dont know the load combinations to be used both for these towers. Do they have the same resistance factors also?

Communication towers are usually designed to one of the TIA codes (F or G).
Transmission towers are governed by some other code. I'm not familar with it, but I think it's ASCE-10.

There are also industry body codes with loading recommendations/requirements.

For these two documents, the load factors, resistance factors, load cases and limit states are very different.
