The article encompasses various tower configurations, including lattice, monopole, and guyed structures. Communication towers are some of the tallest structures across the landscape and birds are regularly found dead around these towers (Longcore et al. It is not definitively understood why this mortality occurs, but evidence suggests that night‐migrating songbirds are either attracted to or.

Telecommunication towers are classified among the tallest man-made structures and can be discovered standing high on each Parts of the world of varying sizes and purposes. Wind load calculation is based o three codes BS 8100, ASCE 7-05 and MS 1553:2002. Failure of such structures i a major concern.
