Transmission towers are used widely for transmitting electric power as there is a huge
requirement of electricity consumption in every developing country. Structural design of steel …

Outages of power due to transmission tower failures can cause social and economic
disasters. Investigations of transmission line failures around the world have recorded that …

The towers are vital components of the transmission lines and hence, accurate prediction of
their failure is very important for the reliability and safety of the transmission system. When …

Transmission defense hardening (TDH) is an effective practice to ensure the safe operation
of the power system during and after natural disasters, such as typhoons. However, the …

This paper reports a feasibility study of utilizing ambient vibration data measured from a
limited number of sensors in the structural damage detection of transmission towers, which …

Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of transmission towers collapsing under
strong winds. Therefore, a retrofitting technique on diagonal bracings is proposed in this …

A full aeroelastic model with one tower two lines to simulate electrical transmission tower-
line system was established. Displacements and accelerations of the aeroelastic model of …

As a result of changes in design code requirements for wind loads, increased demand for
electrical power, and the growing communication industry, retrofitting of existing steel lattice …

The focus of this paper is the seismic response of Large Crossing Transmission Tower-line
System (LCTL) to near-fault ground motions, and whether simplified pulses are capable of …

An experimental study was conducted on two pairs of subassemblages of a typical 500kV
transmission tower of the same type as those suffered the most severe damage during ice …
