Resistance of Polygonal Cross Sections of Lattice Wind Tower

Wind energy is one of the most efficient renewable energies. The most used wind towers are tubularand lattice wind towers. Parts of lattice are easier to transfer, especially in the inland areas. Also, it is easier to build higher lattice tower in order to have more efficient energy conversion in inland areas.However, most of the cross sections for lattice tower are tubular cross sections.This thesis represents the parametric study of polygonal cross section of lattice tower. It consists ofthe numerical analysis based on finite element method (ABAQUS) and analysis based on EN 1993-1-3. The objective of this thesis is to find regular patterns of parametric influences on polygonal crosssection, and to compare them against calculation based on EN 1993-1-3. Also, to find regular patternsof parametric influences on the stiffness of the bolts on the lips.
