ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the possible influence of imperfections on the behavior of the steel towers
arise from technological procedures. Two types of tubular towers are described. The first one is a wind tower of
thin-walled circular section and the second one a high-mast lighting tower of polygonal cross-section. In the first ...
