Optimum spacing and member groups recommendations for a transmission line system

الملخص EN

Transmission towers play an important role in the recent community and the development of various areas of huge infrastructures.

developing countries give a high priority to power development programs.

full-scale tests were usually managed to investigate the load-bearing capacity and failure mechanism of power transmission towers subjected to various loading patterns (broken lines, wind, and ice).

the present work shows the efforts concerning an optimization procedure for the overall weights depending on unusual grouping systems in addition to the most convenient spacing that could be executed within the whole transmission line to serve the process.

therefore, the analysis and design processes of a self-supporting 400 KV steel power transmission tower considering different parameters is performed.

the studied towers are categorized as suspension type and are designed for constant height, common clearances, common span, common conductor, and ground wire specifications.

these would be performed in a sequence of implemented procedures relying on conventional design of transmission towers versus the developed investigations progressively.
