The major system providing lateral load resistance in steel lattice towers is bracing system. There are different types of bracing systems for steel lattice towers. The heights of these towers vary from 20 to 500 meters, based on the practical requirements. This study has focused on identifying the economical bracing system for a given range of tower heights. Towers of height 40m and 50m have been analyzed with different types of bracing systems under wind loads. The diagonal wind has been found to be the maximum for towers. The optimal bracing system has been identified and reported
