I'm kind of interested in any engineering research into tower failures.

There's a ton out there.. google for "lattice tower failure" is a good way to start.

A lot of it is related to power transmission towers, but is relevant.
https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/structural-analysis-of-lattice-steel-transmission-towers-a-review-2472-0437-1000114.pdf
is an example

there's also papers like this
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ace/2018/3293506/

"Progressive collapse analysis" might be a good search phrase.

There's also analyses for wind power.

"guyed tower failure" is another useful one.

"tower failure" is useless - because you get a billion hits for the 9-11 WTC event.


There's a fair amount of literature out there supporting the changes in EIA/TIA-222 - if you look for the document describing why they changed, it typically points to analyses.
