Comparative Analysis and Design of Transmission Line Tower Using Steel Section with Tubular Section

Abstract

Steel structures built up with conventional steel sections lead to massive or lavish budget structures. Tubular steel sections are considered as the best substitution to conventional ones which are useful with better properties. Our project is based on transmission line tower which is a comparative analysis and design using steel section over tubular section. The transmission line tower is analyzed under various loads and designed accordingly. Transmission line tower constitutes about 28 to 42 percentage of the cost of transmission power line project. The embossing demand for electricity can be made enough economical by developing various light weight configuration of transmission line tower’s structure is analyzed and designed by using STAAD PRO and IS 800:2007. For optimizing the member sections, the entire wind load computations have to be repeated simultaneously for the analysis and design.
