| ABSTRACT |
|
Through the years, the height of television towers has steadily increased. The Toronto Tower at 549 m (1782 ft) and the Moscow Tower at 537 m (1762 ft) are two of the tallest such towers in the world, and each was constructed of prestressed concrete. In China, several towers have surpassed the 300 m (1000 ft) plateau. Examples include towers in Tianjin, Beijing, and Nanjing, with heights of 415, 405, and 310 m (1362, 1329, and 1020 ft), respectively. In Shanghai, a 460 m (1510 ft) tower was successfully erected in 1994.
