About: Lattice tower

An Entity of Type: building, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A lattice tower or truss tower is a freestanding vertical framework tower. This construction is widely used in transmission towers carrying high voltage electric power lines, in radio masts and towers (a self-radiating tower or as a support for aerials) and in observation towers. Its advantage is good shear strength at a much lower weight than a tower of solid construction would have as well as lower wind resistance. In structural engineering the term lattice tower is used for a freestanding structure, while a lattice mast is a guyed mast supported by guy lines. Lattices of triangular (3-sided) cross-section are most common, particularly in North America. Square (4-sided) lattices are also widely used and are most common in Eurasia. Lattice towers are often designed as either a space frame

  • Ein Stahlfachwerkturm ist ein Turm, dessen tragendes Element ein Fachwerk aus genieteten, geschraubten oder auch geschweißten Eisen- und Stahl-Teilen ist. Hierbei werden geschraubte Konstruktionen für Freileitungsmaste verwendet, während große Stahlfachwerktürme, wie der Eiffelturm vernietet oder auch – wie der Fernsehturm Kiew – geschweißt sind. Die Bauweise wird seit dem 19. Jahrhundert praktiziert, bekanntestes Bauwerk ist der Eiffelturm. Sie werden heute im Allgemeinen als Aussichtsturm, Hochspannungsmasten, Fernsehturm oder Sendeturm genutzt. (de)

Its advantage is good shear strength at a much lower weight than a tower of solid construction would have as well as lower wind resistance. In structural engineering the term lattice tower is used for a freestanding structure, while a lattice mast is a guyed mast supported by guy lines. Lattices of triangular (3-sided) cross-section are most common, particularly in North America. Square (4-sided) lattices are also widely used and are most common in Eurasia. Lattice towers are often designed as either a space frame or a hyperboloid structure. Before 1940, they were used as radio transmission towers especially for short and medium wave. Occasionally lattice towers consisting of wood were utilized. The tallest wooden lattice tower was at Mühlacker, Germany. It had a height of 190 metres (620 ft) and was built in 1934 and demolished in 1945. Most wood lattice towers were demolished before 1960. In Germany, the last big radio towers consisting of wood were the transmission towers of the Golm transmitter and the transmitter Ismaning. They were demolished in 1979 and 1983 respectively. The tallest free standing lattice tower is the Tokyo Skytree, with a height of 634 metres (2,080 ft). The Petronius Compliant Tower is the tallest supported lattice tower at 640 metres (2,100 ft), being partially submerged. The city most renowned for lattice towers is Cincinnati, Ohio, which features four towers above 900 feet in height. Tokyo is the only other city in the world that has more than one above that height. The majority of the tallest steel lattice towers in the world are actually built in water and used as oil platforms. These structures are usually built in large pieces on land, most commonly in Texas or Louisiana, and then moved by barge to their final resting place. Since a large portion of these towers is underwater the official height of such structures is often held in dispute. The steel lattice truss for these structures, known as jackets in the oil industry, are typically far more robust and reinforced than their land-based counterparts, sometimes weighing more than 50,000 tons as is the case for the Bullwinkle and Baldpate platforms, whereas tall (above 1,000 feet) land-based lattice towers range from a high of 10,000 tons as is the case in the Eiffel Tower to as low as a few hundred tons. They are built to a higher standard to support the weight of the oil platforms built on top of them and because of the forces to which they are subjected. As a result, the cost to build these structures can run into the hundreds of millions. These costs are justified due to the resulting oil and gas revenues, whereas land-based towers have a much lower stream of revenue and therefore the capital costs of towers are typically much less.

  • Une tour en treillis est un ouvrage architectural autoportant construit sous forme de treillis. Les tours en treillis peuvent servir de tour de transmission (on parle alors de pylônes en treillis) ou d'observation. Avant 1940, elles étaient utilisées comme tours de transmission radio, particulièrement pour les ondes moyennes et courtes. Parfois, le treillis est constitué de bois. La plus haute tour en treillis de bois est celle de l'émetteur de Mühlacker (1934-1945), d'une hauteur de 190 m. La plus haute tour en treillis est la tour de télévision de Kiev, d'une hauteur de 385 m. (fr)
  • 鉄塔(てっとう、英語: Lattice tower)は、鉄製の骨組み構造から構成される細長い建造物である。特に送電鉄塔は基礎が各脚に設けられトラス構造が特徴であり、基礎が一体型の「鉄柱」とは区別される場合もある(本項では「鉄柱」に分類されるものについても記す)。 一体型送電線やアンテナの支持(携帯電話などの基地局、放送局の送信所など)、気象の観測、灯台、消防の望楼などに用いられる。放送用の大型の鉄塔はデザインにも配慮して作られ、場所によっては観光地となっている所もある。 エレベータの設置に用いる四角柱型の鉄塔やアマチュア無線のアンテナなど、家庭に設置する目的の製品も存在する。 (ja)
