Following the analysis of determining wind loads and referring to the identification of design and actual wind loads,
analytical and numerical methods have been applied for tower analysis evaluating all possible impact factors influencing the
behaviour of constructions. For making tower calculations, 387 combinations of loads and effects have been investigated.
At the final stage, two main load combinations have been used:
• individual weight of constructions, applied loads, temperature effects and wind pressure;
• individual weight of constructions, applied loads, snow, icing and wind pressure making 25 % of intensiveness
considering the total wind load.
The detailed analysis of wind loads indicates that under the predominating West wind, a load affecting the lower
reinforced concrete part is lighter than that observed investigating the East wind that is not very influential.
The total horizontal load considering the predominating wind has been established employing two methods – analytical
and numerical and calculating wind speed regarding the location area and measurement results and is provided in Table 1.
