The statical system of the tower can be described as avertical cantilever with constant uniform horizontal loading.Thecross section of the tower is a quadratic box with constant sizeand thikcness throughout theheight of the tower, and due to thesmall construction site there is no room for a wider cross section.The tower has been reinforced with maximum allowed reinforcment,but the capacity in the bottom of the tower has been exceeded.
