Abstract (EN): This work comes as Part II, of the work, that describes the analysis and design process of the principal auxiliary testing structure of a tower testing station in Portugal (Trofa). The principal auxiliary structure, as a key element of the testing station, is in this part II, conveniently characterized in terms of the numerical model used, types of analysis (elastic linear and non-linear, buckling analysis) and design methodology according with the Eurocodes part 3 (steel structures). This paper concludes with the difficulties experienced during the design process of the principal auxiliary testing structure.
