Abstract
A simplified method for the determination of the slack stress in the guys of a tower subjected to wind load is presented. Equations for the determination of displacements at guy levels are developed in terms of the wind load, initial guy tension, and slack stress.
A useful method for solving problems pertaining to the buckling or amplification of stress and displacement in guyed towers has also been developed. Only fundamental concepts are used and those are extended to include the displacement of the tower axis due to external loads and internal distortions. The increase, or amplification, of the computed stress, and displacement or bending moment at the center of a loaded section of the tower (when the displacements of the axis are included in the analysis) are developed and presented in graphic form.
