For short-term records of wind speed, check EPRI references on how to extrapolate to a 50 yr design speed. This method is often used for transmission tower design where recorded wind speed information is scant or has been recorded for only a short period of time. MPaul

Not sure of what configuration you are considering.
One of Timoshenkos references describes column buckling with a larger cental section in the pinned column.
Not sure if this is helpful. More information from initial entry may be in order.

It is understood different designers and manufacturers use different criteria to limit deflections. IE tangent pole ~ 10-12% of height, deadend end structures 2-3% or there abouts. This includes deflections due to foundation displacements and foundation rotations. This probably is...
