GENERAL INFORMATION

The old Avala tower was destroyed in the air strikes 1999. The requirement of the Terms of reference was to built the new tower according to the old architecture. The Tower has a tourist and a telecommunication purpose. Its structure is reinforced concrete up to the height of 136,650 m and from that height to the top at 204,330 m - steel. The most significant characteristic of the new design was a solution of ULS- and SLS-problems due to the wind load. The wind load acc. to actual wind load analysis is about 2,5 wind load of the old design, but the ToR obligation was to retain the concrete structure cross-sections without modifications. The reason of wind load problems was incorrect wind load analysis in the old design, acc. to old norms also. The steel structure is a truss structure of cylindrical members, with the various elements for equipment connections, platforms, ladders.

Design team – Dunica, Životić, Bojović will receive an award in 2010 from the Society of the civil engineers of Serbia for construction achievement from 2008 to 2010.
