The aim of this research was to comparatively evaluate the structural response of a 21 m centrifugally reinforced concrete (C.A.C.) pole subjected to wind loads, applying the methodologies of ASCE 74 and CFE J6100-54 standards. The pole was modeled in SAP2000 v22 using both static and time-history dynamic analyses, considering service, maintenance, failure, and extreme wind load scenarios. Wind data were generated using the NOWS simulator for velicities up to 27.78 m/s. Results show a maximum displacement of 0.28 m under CFE and 0.20 m under ASCE, while maximum bending moments reached 145.92 kN.m and 133.47 kN.m, respectively. Statistical validation using ANOVA revealed non-significant differences (Fcalc=2.17 < Fcrit=4.26; p=0.144 > 0.05), confirming the technical equivalence between the standards. It is concluded that ASCE 74 provides higher accuracy by incorporating gust response...
