Abstract

Varias torres reticuladas de telecomunicaciones han
colapsado en los últimos diez años en Cuba frente al paso
de huracanes por la Isla. En este trabajo se expone la
metodología seguida para el estudio de las fallas de las
torres de telecomunicaciones en Cuba ante la ocurrencia
de fuertes vientos. Se recogen los datos relativos a
sesenta y ocho torres para las cuales se procesan datos
estructurales, geográficos, y climatológicos
correlacionados entre sí, analizando comparativamente, a
través de ellos, las torres falladas y no falladas en el
periodo 1996-2006. La cantidad de datos a procesar y la
dispersión de los mismos solo permitieron un primer
acercamiento al problema y dar conclusiones parciales al
trabajo quedando abierto el camino para futuras
investigaciones en esta área.
Palabras clave: fallas estructurales, torres reticuladas.

Some lattice towers collapses have been occurred since
the last ten years in Cuba, with the incidence of hurricane
winds. This paper describes the process followed to
determine the causes of towers failures. Data of sifty eight
lattice towers for antenna support was collected and
classified into structural, geographical and weather
conditions. A comparative analysis between collapsed and
not collapsed towers conditions was made in order to
determine the probable failure causes. Partially
conclusions of the study are exposed.

Key words: structural failure, lattice towers.
