Abstract:
The aim of our study was to find the ideal method for studying the soil-structure interactions (SSI) of guyed towers or masts. The main difficulty was finding behavioral laws and models capable of integrating the 22 parameters that had been identified. To do this, we reviewed the literature from the last 20 years. We grouped the various models into tables and graphs. There is no single excellent method for calculating the structure of soil-structure interactions (SSI). However, we found that there are three main methods: the sub-structure method integrates 47% of 22 parameters, the direct method (Global) integrates 47% of 22 parameters and the hybrid method integrates 53% of 22 parameters. The most widely used method is hybrid because it combines the advantages of the other two, such as sophisticated 3D modeling, probabilistic approaches, and new in-situ testing technologies (triaxial and cyclic loading tests). But our results are limited because they are a function of the works that have been available to us over the last 20 years. They are not fixed; they evolve over time and space.
