Abstract:

The purpose of this report, Guide for Design of Steel Transmission Towers, is to provide a basis for the structural design of self-supporting steel transmission towers throughout the United States. This report has been developed to provide more specific loading recommendations for transmission towers, and it covers a wide range of information. Topics include loadings, overload factors, compression formulas, L/r ratio for tension members, minimum thickness, net sections, combined stresses, detailing and fabrication, fasteners, tower tests, foundations, surveys, transmission line construction, materials and handling, tower erection, wire stringing, and inspection. This report will be of interest to both practicing engineers and researchers working with the design of steel transmission towers.
