Ignorance of the influences of bolt slippage effects on transmission towers will lead to the
underestimation of the deformations of the transmission towers. Therefore, the responses of …

Wind turbines are growingly used to transform wind energy into electric energy given that
wind energy is becoming more popular as a renewable resource, unlike fossil fuels, and …

Currently, the construction process of large offshore platforms worldwide involves building
the topside and hull separately and then having them integrated. Jacking technology is …

This paper presents a new joint-slippage model for determining the behavior of galvanized
steel bolted joints with slippage based on the joint test results. The influence of the slip …

The behaviour of galvanized lattice steel structures with joint slip is difficult to model
accurately using either theoretical methods or numerical simulations. This paper proposes …

An unequal-leg transmission tower with a transition section is a new type of tower that can
be used to construct transmission lines in steep mountainous areas, and it has the …

Wind load is one of the main control loads of transmission tower-line system. To accurately
analyze the wind-induced response of transmission tower-line system, the hysteretic curves …

To study the slip performance of main member bar connections in transmission towers, 77
groups of bolted main member bar connections were analyzed, and the influence of eight …

Introduction: The mechanical properties of joints have a significant impact on the dynamic
response of transmission tower structures. Methods: Considering bolt slip, the numerical …

Lattice transmission towers are typical spatial truss structure, which are commonly
composed of equilateral angle steel members using bolts. Different from the bolted joints in …
