By setting a stiffening structure between the two ends of the upper crossbeam 9 and the two tower columns 1, the connection strength at the connection between the top of the tower column 1 and the upper crossbeam 9 is effectively improved, the lateral bending moment at the top of the tower column 1 is reduced, and the durability of the tower column 1 is improved. At the same time, it will not affect the climbing formwork construction of the cable tower column 1.
[0025] To further optimize the solution, the stiffening structure includes two stiffening ribs 8 arranged between the end of the upper crossbeam 9 and the top of the tower column 1.
