Lattice towers similiar to Eiffel Tower

[Alpha]

Many people compare say that each lattice tower is a bit of a copy of Eiffel Tower, but in my opinion, a lattice tower should be only said, that it is of similiar design, when it is

1. Not a scale replication of Eiffel Tower ( in these cases the builders wanted to build a model of it, which is not the case for lattice towers similiar to Eiffel Tower)

2. Have either
- a bow at the basement
- a basement with 4 feet, which are fitted together in 2 levels by a cross connection without larger diagonal connections ( I mean not of the type lower parts of electricity pylons and most lattice radio towers loo like)
- a top with a double(or multiple)-row lattice structure
- a top similiar to that of Eiffel Tower

When using these criteria, I found that the following lattice towers are similiar to Eiffel Tower ( Blackpool Tower [ http://en.structurae.de/structures/d...fm?ID=s0000892 ] and Berlin Radio Tower [ http://en.structurae.de/structures/d...fm?ID=s0000339 ] do although often compared with Eiffel Tower not fulfill these criteria and appear therefore not in the list)

Do you know further examples. Please consider the upper mentioned criteria and post, if possible a picture!

I wanted to correct the statement at the beginning, but unfortunately I was not able to do so ( a common problem in the forum), so Webmaster please replace my first posting by my second posting

done.

There's a quite tall transmission tower near Cincinnati, OH that has a similar form to the Eiffel Tower. I don't know anything about it, though.

@Upward: The tower near Cincinnati is Star Tower. It has some similiarities to Eiffel Tower ( but not its characteristic features), but I believe not, that its constructors were inspired by its design.

@Stu: When you compare the pictures of Eiffel Tower and Blackpool Tower, you will easily find out, that the design of Blackpool Tower is quite other than that of Eiffel Tower.

well, actually there are a lot of mini eiffel towers abroad....
In Germany near A6 there is one for example....

I love the Blackpool Tower. Always been a favorite.
