Abstract The essential requirement for a safe and economic design of guyed masts is an exact knowledge about wind loading and the corresponding response of the structure. In thisresearch project windprofiles and statistical parameters of the turbulence structure are determined by measuring the wind speeds on 17 levels with relatively small vertical distances (18m) up to the height of 341m. The dynamic response of the mast is determined by measuring the strains of the corner legs and the rope forces as well as the accelerations of the mast shaft. Based on the experimental results a system identification is performed, taking account of the nonlinearities of the ropes. Calculated results are compared with measured ones.
