Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the ultimate strength and behavior of triangular and rectangular frames in steel towers. Investigations of collapse mechanism including local and global failures of partial frame are carried out through finite element analysis and small scaled experiments. Ultimate strength and deformation are investigated in case of shape variations with change of the interior and exterior frames. The efficiency of rectangular frame saving sub-brace members are verified with comparisons of the ultimate strength of triangular frames.
