Abstract

THE NEW LIGHT STEEL tower line designs recently adopted by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) brought estimated savings in excess of 12,500 tons of steel and $4,000,000 during the first two years of practical application. These designs resulted from engineering studies begun during World War II to save critical steel, and continued during postwar years in order to combat the sharp rises which have taken place in transmission-line construction costs.
