Abstract |
|
The self-supporting three or four legged transmission towers are being used for transmitting electricity supply and for other purposes all over the world. Including the self-weight, transmission tower carries all the forces like wind, earthquake, and snow load etc. Therefore, transmission tower structures are commonly designed for both structural and electrical requirements. In this study, four legged square type transmission tower has been analyzed for various earthquake zones (as per IS: 1893(part-3)) under consideration of three different heights (40m, 50m and 60m) using STAAD.Pro software. Results are obtained in terms of deflection, support reaction, support moment, axial stress and bending stress criteria based on which the salient conclusions are drawn. |
