As for Structure 04, concentrations of plastic deformation are observed at the centre of the base of the intermediate walls as well as at the ends of the free walls, along the X and Y directions, with maximum values of 0.0039 along the X axis and 0.0035 along the Y axis. Regarding Structure 05, the deformation is located mainly at the base of the tower walls, at the height of 8 m, and at the end of the side wall, as well as at the base of the free wall that is connected to the tower, along the Y axis, with a maximum deformation value of 0.0058. On the other hand, the plastic deformation along the X direction is concentrated at the end of the base of the tower's side wall, with a maximum value of 0.0022. Finally, for Structure 06, the deformation concentration appears at the end of the wall's base, along the X and Y axes, with maximum strains of 0.0016 and 0.0018, respectively.
