This research of "Design of Communication Tower and Its Performance" is generally to study on standard design of communication tower and to analyze tower deflection based on acting force of wind load that coming from one direction. There will be two models of square-foot towers of 45m and 76m tall where both towers will be analyzed by using STAAD Pro software. Wind load calculation is based on three codes BS 8100, ASCE 7- 05 and MS 1553:2002. This comparison is to find out which code provides the most critical condition for the tower's performance. Some literatures review are done in order to critically discussed on what criteria that related to the topic had been find out by the authors, and also to give some improvement on certain areas corresponding to the research.
