Widely used telecommunication structures are usually of the tower or mast type. For medium and tall telecommunications structures, tower-type constructions become less efficient compared to mast-type structures. The goal of our article is to discover a new, efficient telecommunication structure. For relatively low heights, tower systems can be designed with a continuous cross-section, in most cases using reinforced concrete elements. Among them, efficient spun concrete elements, whose load-bearing capacity is higher than that of ordinary solid reinforced concrete elements due to the technological features of their production, should be mentioned. A significantly higher efficiency of masts can be achieved by employing various combined structural systems that utilize a prestressed stayed columns system. It should be noted that there are not many solutions for prestressed stayed columns systems with spun concrete core elements and that research into their design and behavior is not yet sufficiently developed. The behavior of this combined structure is analyzed with regard to the geometric and physical nonlinearity of its elements. The strength and stability of the spun concrete core of such a combined system are evaluated. The impact of the prestressing of this prestressed stayed column structure on the internal forces and displacements of the reinforced concrete core is analyzed. The performance of the new structure compared to conventional tower and mast structures is presented. In the article, it has been determined that by applying the prestressed stayed columns system to telecommunication structures, the innovative structural system becomes 2.5 times more efficient than the classic mast and 5 times more efficient than the typical tower system on the mass criterion.

Recently, due to the expansion of telecommunication and power networks, as well as other structures, the demand for designing efficient and durable tall supporting columns has increased. Efficient steel columns are well known, including prestressed stayed beam–column systems. However, because of their relatively high cost, designers often turn to reinforced concrete structures, which are not only relatively cheaper but also sufficiently strong and resistant to aggressive external influences. Nevertheless, the large self-weight of reinforced concrete structures and considerable material consumption encourage the search for new efficient solutions. One such solution is the use of spun reinforced concrete structures. Compared to conventional reinforced concrete structures, these solutions not only reduce material consumption but also increase durability. This study examines an innovative prestressed stayed beam–column structure consisting of a spun reinforced concrete core and supporting prestressed steel tension ties. The behavior of such a composite structure is analyzed, and calculations of internal forces and displacements are presented. The rational parameters of the composing elements of this new prestressed stayed beam–column structure are discussed, and their influence on the stress–strain state of the structure is evaluated. Expressions are provided for calculating the rational bending moments of the spun reinforced concrete core. The obtained solutions make it possible to select rational cross-sections of the core and ties, as well as the required prestressing of the tension ties, without iterative calculations.
