Access to telecommunication and broadcasting services is the main purpose of using telecommunication masts, especially in difficult times such as after a severe earthquake. By taking into consideration this important role that telecommunication infrastructure play as critical links of communication, especially in post-disaster situations, one can easily see the value of their preservation and even necessity in the earthquake prone regions of the world. The recent development in telecommunications industries have led to an extensive use of tall guyed towers. The dynamic analysis of this structure under seismic loading is a much understudied field that requires investigation. The complex nature of their analysis arises from the nonlinear force deflection relationship of the cable supports. Masts are usually designed by equivalent static methods for wind and earthquake loading. One of the parameterssignificant to the dynamic response of the structure is the guy pre-load value. 10 % of the ultimate stress pretension is applied in all cable for study purpose as it is recommended in many researches and standards. In current study analysis of guyed mast has been carried out by using widely used software SAP2000. For study purpose guyed mast of different height having different mast supporting cable radius has been considered and to investigate the behavior of mast, the obtained results are compared in form of time period, base shear, displacement, cable forces and mast forces. The research aims is to gain an understanding into the distribution and magnitudes of forces developed during typical wind and seismic load.
