Design Of Steel Lattice SS & Guyed Towers 3

[buns1]

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

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
