Comparative Study of Three Pole Structure with Steel and FRP using Finite Element Analysis

Sweety S ^[6] | Aswathy Prakash ^[5]

Abstract: Three pole structures are usually placed on the roof top of the building in order to enhance network coverage. Today`s world every structure started changing to composite due to its less weight and reliability. Orthotropic property of the composite material plays the vital role in determining the strength of composite structure. The modeling of a three dimensional three pole structure done in CATIA V5R21. Then it is imported to ANSYS. This study intend to implement the finite element analysis via software (ANSYS) to simulate the structure that are subjected to dead load (self-weight and communication system weight) and wind load which are apparent at high rise building. The analysis of structure with steel and FRP done in this software (ANSYS) and compare the results.
