ABSTRACT:
Built-up towers for offshore wells, production platforms and for microwave communications antennae, for example, are formed of triangular base members which may be made up of equilateral triangles which are arranged vertically spaced from each other and with their base legs laterally and vertically spaced, respectively, and so that the centroids of the triangles formed by said base members are aligned along a common longitudinal axis of the tower. Each of the triangular base members is connected to an adjacent base member by lateral braces which extend between the apices or nodes of each triangle to the adjacent apices or nodes of the adjacent base member.
