Abstract

The objective of the present study is to compare the tensegrity towers of compartment height of 4 meter and 5 meter for node deflection at various heights and their respective deflection diagram and Beam stresses. Tensegrity tower is of 20 meter height and it is analyzed using STAAD pro V8i. The analysis was based in the terrain category two. Lucknow city in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India is selected as the place for analysis and the respective data is used for wind speed, seismic zone et cetera. Tensegrity towers provides better alternative for the conventional structure and can be used for better efficiency. The result of the present study shows that the compartment height of 4 meter shows better results in terms form-finding and stresses developed.
