Research Status and Prospect of Transmission Tower Structure Damage Identification

Abstract

To have a comprehensive summary of existing methods for damage identification of transmission tower so as to provide systematic and effective information, from aspeces of data sources and analytical methods, the existing methods of damage identification were summarized to sort out the technical evolution of the various damage identification methods including the static and dynamic damage identification and inversion and pattern recognition methods.Then, the application status, advantages and disadvantages of various methods were analzed, and the improvement ideas and methods were summarized. Finally, establishment of four-in-one multi-system damage identification method was proposed based on construction monitoring, loads tsets, health monitoring and artificial patrol, which is the development trend of the transmission tower structure damage identification.
