 Abstract:

Demand for electricity is increasing as the population grows. Transmission towers need to be upgraded in order to satisfy these increasing demands for power supply. A study on the stability of the transmission tower is significant to make sure that the tower is stable and capable enough to transmit electricity due to high demand. In this paper, a review on analysis and design of the lattice steel structure of the overhead transmission tower together with its design as in ASCE and Eurocode standard are presented. Two methods are introduced which are linear static analysis and p-delta analysis to compare its maximum internal force, maximum displacement as well as location for critical part of the tower when different loadings applied. In analysis, the tower model used for modelling and simulation is assumed as fully-beam and fully-truss. Standard code MS 1533:2000 is referred for wind loading calculation. It is found that the highest internal force is at the leg of the tower on a normal case with an angle of attack of wind is 45°.
