Staad-Pro Tower Analysis Procedure

Staad Pro can be used to analyze telecommunication towers and monopoles. It is important to perform both linear static and p-delta analysis as results can differ by over than 60%. Staad Pro handles second order analysis and can model various bracing configurations. It also allows nonlinear cable analysis for guyed towers. Foundation design modules in Staad Pro can check for uplift, sliding and overturning for tower foundations.
