Konteksts: [..] Friction joints used as frangible mechanisms can supply high strength normal to the sliding surface but slip when the force is applied parallel to the sliding surface. In a support structure, impact forces are predominantly horizontal. Friction joints should be designed so that the slip plane is horizontal and complete failure occurs if impacted in any direction in that plane. This is achieved by using flange-type couplings on the ends of tower legs or interconnected tubes that slide apart on impact. [..]
