Through experimental tests, compared with a single concrete tower, the tensile strength of the composite mixed tower of the present invention is increased by 30%, and compared with a single steel structure tower, the tensile strength of the mixed tower is increased by 20% due to the strengthening effect of the carbon fiber.
