Design Of Steel Lattice SS & Guyed Towers

(OP)
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites where you could find detailed information on the design of towers and foundations for both self-supporting and guyed towers.  I work for a tower design company and I am having trouble finding information on design aspects for both structures and foundations.  Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Check out the website for Telecommunications Industry Association...they provide the standards for design

Hi:

First of all procure ASCE 10-97, an ANSI standard. I will be grateful to answer your specific questions. I am a well-known latticed-steel tower designer.

There is a structural analysis/design program for tower analysis and design - check it out www.goakorn.com - it's affordable, too.

Power Line Systems have excellent analysis software for towers, poles, guyed masts, caissons.
