List Of Tallest Demolished Freestanding Structures
This is a list of tallest demolished freestanding structures. To be freestanding, a structure must not be supported by guy-wires, the sea or other types of support. It therefore does not include guyed masts, partially guyed towers and drilling platforms, but does include towers, skyscrapers (pinnacle height) and chimneys.''See Tallest freestanding structures by skyscraperpage.com/ref> Demolished freestanding structures or taller Structures with the same height are ordered by demolition date Timeline of tallest demolished freestanding structures See also * List of tallest structures by country * List of tallest towers * List of tallest chimneys * List of tallest buildings and structures * Lattice tower References {{reflist Lists of demolished buildings and structures, * Lists of buildings and structures, Tallest, demolished ...

Guy-wire
A guy-wire, guy-line, guy-rope, down guy, or stay, also called simply a guy, is a tensioned cable designed to add stability to a freestanding structure. They are used commonly for ship masts, radio masts, wind turbines, utility poles, and tents. A thin vertical mast supported by guy wires is called a guyed mast. Structures that support antennas are frequently of a lattice construction and are called " towers". One end of the guy is attached to the structure, and the other is anchored to the ground at some distance from the mast or tower base. The tension in the diagonal guy-wire, combined with the compression and buckling strength of the structure, allows the structure to withstand lateral loads such as wind or the weight of cantilevered structures. They are installed radially, usually at equal angles about the structure, in trios and quads. As the tower leans a bit due to the wind force, the increased guy tension is resolved into a compression force in the tower or ...
