In order to achieve better architectural performance,the overall layout is optimized and innovative node connection forms are introduced in the design of the Changshu TV Tower.Specifically,the diagonal brac-ing within the tower's horizontal beam is concealed and the connection between the diagonal bracing and the tow-er column is positioned on the inner side of the column.Additionally,flange-rib plates for connecting the tower column are used to ensure effective structural connections while serving as connection plates for the diagonal bracing and the main column.For safety considerations,finite element analysis of the nodes of the Changshu TV Tower is conducted using specialized software.The results indicate that the Mises stress in the flange-rib plates and connection plates meets design requirements,effectively ensuring the safety of the nodes.Therefore,this design approach can be applied in practical engineering scenarios.
