In this paper, a finite element model is established to study the influence of connection plate thickness on the bearing capacity of steel tube tower connections. Through the bearing capacity of connections under different connection plate thickness, the influence of connection plate thickness on the bearing capacity of steel pipe tower connections is analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the thickness of connection plates and the bearing capacity of steel tube tower connections is analyzed by regression analysis. The results show that with the increase of the thickness of gusset plate, the bearing capacity of steel tube tower connections increases linearly. The bearing capacity calculated by regression analysis is in good agreement with the finite element simulation results.
