Abstract (EN): The design of telecommunication tower structures is usually done considering only wind action. This study aims to carry out a seismic analysis of three different types of support structures, which consist of two lattice towers typologies and tubular masts, which were designed taking into consideration only the action of the wind. It is intended to understand if the seismic action can somehow condition and control the design of these structures. To this end, seismic studies were performed based upon Eurocode 8 provisions and on existing seismic records of previous earthquakes. The results of parametric studies for the three typologies were obtained using the calculation Robot Structural Analysis software for lattice towers, and with the support of Excel worksheets for tubular masts.
