High-rising structures are particularly susceptible to wind loads.Under predominantly wind-in-duced loads,strict requirements are set for the deformation of these structure,especially for self-supporting tow-er structures with specific functional purposes.Typically,these towers are equipped with calibration devices on top to receive antenna signals for alignment or performance testing.Therefore,the requirements for top deforma-tion under wind loads are even more stringent.This paper primarily focuses on optimizing the top displacement of a self-supporting tower in real engineering.The factors influencing the top deformation of the structure under wind loads are analyzed.By comparing and analyzing the impact of measures such as increasing structure stiff-ness,altering tower materials,and adding auxiliary rods,the most economical and effective deformation control measures to meet the application requirements is selected.
