The main issue presented in the article is a comparison of the experimental failure loads for two steel lattice towers (two different bracing systems – K and X) with the height equal to 42 m. Paper presents experimental data obtained in full-scale pushover tests, where the mechanism of failure plays extremely important role. Experimental results allow to draw the conclusion that lower material consumption for the tower with K bracing systemcauses significantdecrease of the overall carrying capacity comparing to the tower with the X bracing system.
Keywords: lattice tower; carrying capacity; failure mechanism.
