Abstract (EN): The analysis of the effect of the wind in structures can be of great complexity due to wind variability in space and time. This article presents a theoretical revision of a statistical procedure for the wind action in towers and metallic masts, using the Method of Davenport. This method uses influence line functions for determining any structural response decomposed in its resonant and non-resonant components, as well as accounts for an evaluation of the effect of the higher vibration modes. Examples of structural responses are presented using this methodology for a typical tower or metallic mast. © 2006 Civil-Comp Press.
