This paper first explains the background for the adoption of System Truss for the Dalian TV Tower in China as well as the determination of design load and allowable stress. The section on the structural design states the analysis model, member design, self-induced vibration of pipe member, etc. Explained next are the wind tunnel test conducted to determine velocity pressure, and the stability analysis conducted to estimate the ultimate condition of the Tower. Furthermore, the material and strength characteristics of System Truss components are explained, particularly the production test of large-diameter bolts. Finally, the paper reports on the construction techniques.
