Sažetak

Antenna towers with telecommunication equipment surround us and are often perceived as structures that disrupt the landscape. Glued laminated timber is a material with exceptional mechanical and visual properties, offering high durability due to well-designed structural details. This paper presents a load analysis, a numerical model with a static calculation, and the construction process of a 40-meter-high antenna tower with telecommunication equipment. The supporting structure of the antenna tower is made of glued laminated timber of strength class GL30c. Such structures can be acceptable even in protected areas where the construction of steel antenna towers is not permitted. One of the key advantages is the significantly lower carbon footprint of these towers, which will play an increasingly important role in the future.
