Outages of power due to transmission tower failures can cause social and economic
disasters. Investigations of transmission line failures around the world have recorded that …

In this paper, the fragility analysis and concept of critical collapse curve for transmission
tower subjected to wind and rain loads are presented to acquire the collapse equivalent …

Widely used telecommunication structures are usually of the tower or mast type. For medium
and tall telecommunications structures, tower-type constructions become less efficient …

With increasing demand of infrastructure to support power transmission and
telecommunication systems, the need of erecting more towers has also been rising …

To explore the effects and mechanisms of diaphragms on wind-resistant retrofitting of lattice
transmission towers, the authors developed finite element models of tower-line systems …

The tower foundation above the goal of the coal mine is easily deformed, which causes a
serious threat to the safe operation of ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission lines. In this …

This paper presents the results of an operational modal analysis on a self-supporting
antenna mast. The structure is instrumented with seismic accelerometers, which are moved …

A study of the stochastic dynamics of a guyed mast under wind action is reported in the
present work. The simplified structural model consists of a beam-column accounting for the …

This paper deals with the effectiveness of various bracing systems used in lattice towers.
Seven types of bracings used in 4-legged square based self-supporting power transmission …

Guyed masts are examples of structures extensively used in civil engineering. During the
service life of the structure, the guys tension values can vary due to various circumstances …
