TOWERS WITH HIGH CAPACITY OF RESISTANCE AGAINST VIBRATIONS
Description
There are many designs and structures for use in the construction of towers for telecommunications installations, wind energy, lighting, etc., although many of the known ones ultimately suffer from a fundamental technical problem: their adaptation to weather factors, seismic or similar, so that they have a high resistance capacity against vibrations caused by said factors, without implying a complex and expensive design. Thus, the present invention refers to a type of truncated pyramidal tower structure whose design allows optimal transmission of any applied load to the foundation by means of crossed helical slopes.
Advantages
Among the main advantages of the present invention are: • This type of structure solves the problem of high towers over confined spaces. • Its application is very useful when it comes to reducing expropriation, rent or material costs.
Uses and Applications
The present technology is useful for the design of telecommunications towers, wind power, lighting, and the like, with greater resistance to vibrations.
