Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the contemporary world, mass media play an indispensable role in disseminating thoughts, ideas, and opinions, shaping public discourse and influencing societal development. Through various channels—broadcast, written, and spoken communication—mass media reach vast audiences, fostering intellectual exchange and advancing human civilisation. The effects of mass media span multiple domains, including political, social, psychological, and economic spheres. It has a profound impact on individual beliefs, preferences, values, and even personal identities.Among the various forms of media, television holds a unique appeal and continues to be an invaluable medium of communication that engages audiences of all ages.Television programmes can be examined from multiple perspectives, including their social implications, educational utility, cultural and commercial significance, health-related influences, and psychological effects. Notably, research has demonstrated that individuals experiencing social isolation often turn to television to establish parasocial relationships with media personalities, thereby alleviating feelings of loneliness and exclusion. Scholars <i>Jaye Derrick</i> and <i>Shira Gabriel</i> of the University of Buffalo, along with <i>Kurt Hugenberg</i> of the University of Miami, propose the “<b><i>social surrogacy</i></b>”[1] hypothesis, which posits that individuals deprived of active interpersonal engagement feel less isolated when watching their favourite television programmes. Consequently, television serves as an emotional refuge, easing psychological distress and reducing the negative effects of social isolation.Technological advancements in recent decades have significantly improved the efficiency and scope of television broadcasting. The global transmission of signals has been enabled by telecom satellites, supported by ground-based transmitter antennas and towering structures—constructed from steel and reinforced concrete—that facilitate seamless signal propagation to conventional receivers. Given the critical role of these architectural and engineering marvels, it is essential to explore the structural and functional characteristics of telecom towers worldwide.This book offers architects and engineers a comprehensive understanding of these monumental structures, providing design criteria for professionals specialising in architecture, structural engineering, telecommunications, and related fields. The primary objective is to equip practitioners with the fundamental principles required for the conceptualisation and execution of concrete telecom towers measuring 200 metres and above.The design and construction of such towers represent an intricate and collaborative process, involving a diverse team of designers, consultants, and engineers. A notable example is the Toronto TV Tower in Canada, one of the tallest concrete telecom towers in the world, standing at an impressive height of 553.33 metres. The construction of this tower necessitated the unwavering dedication of a team comprising 1,537 architects, engineers, contractors, and specialists, working continuously over a span of 40 months. It is imperative to acknowledge the profound contributions of specialised construction firms, whose expertise and technological proficiency are instrumental in realising these remarkable structures.This book is systematically structured into seven chapters:· <b>Chapter 1:</b> Covers technical equipment, including the evolution of communication technology, antenna systems, and essential design considerations.· <b>Chapter 2:</b> Addresses structural design aspects, offering a comparative analysis of 42 existing concrete telecom towers above 200 metres in height, along with a classification of their structural systems.· <b>Chapter 3:</b> Examines briefly construction methodologies, particularly slip-forming and jump-forming techniques.· <b>Chapter 4:</b> Discusses the architectural design features of telecom towers and their influence on the surrounding environments. It includes a review of globally renowned telecom towers measuring 200 metres and above, with analyses of their architectural concepts, structural plans, and longitudinal sections. Additionally, this chapter provides an examination of 15 exemplary concrete telecom towers, highlighting their unique design principles and engineering innovations.· <b>Chapter 5:</b> Explores briefly electrical and mechanical systems, encompassing heating and cooling mechanisms, sanitation infrastructure, elevator design, and fire safety protocols.· <b>Chapter 6:</b> Focuses on maintenance and inspection procedures for steel structures, as well as antenna and feeder repair strategies.· <b>Chapter 7:</b> Presents the appendices alongside a comprehensive bibliography. Appendix 1 categorises existing telecom towers and masts exceeding 350 metres in height based on their structural classifications. Appendix 2 compiles the images and tables referenced throughout the book. Appendix 3 provides a brief analysis of structural classification systems for tall buildings, offering insights into their design and engineering principles.This 481-page volume, “<b><i>Principles of Concrete Telecom Towers Design”</i></b>, is presented in Persian. It is my sincere hope that this work serves as a valuable and authoritative reference for architects, engineers, and industry specialists engaged in the design and construction of high-rise concrete telecom towers.<br>[1] Derrick, J.L., Gabriel, S. and Hugenberg, K.
