REVIEW-ANALYSIS OF ROOFTOP TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER OVER BUILDING IN EARTHQUAKE PRONE AREA

Abstract

The increasing demand for telecommunication infrastructure has led to the widespread installation of rooftop towers
on buildings. These structures, often located in earthquake-prone areas, impose additional dynamic loads on the building
during seismic events. This paper provides a comprehensive review of studies analyzing the impact of rooftop
telecommunication towers on buildings subjected to seismic forces. The key focus is on performance parameters such as
storey drift, node displacement, shear force, and axial force. Insights into modeling techniques, material properties, and design
considerations are also discussed, highlighting strategies to enhance structural resilience.
