Abstract

In order to determine the failure mode of high-voltage transmission tower materials under the condition of ice-coating load in an actual line. The Qidian-Luoping 500kV wine glass type transmission tower is selected as the prototype, and the one tower with two lines model of the whole beam unit is established by using the ANSYS finite element software. The loading mode is static load considering icing load and wind load. The most unfavorable wind direction of the transmission tower is obtained by comparing and analyzing the maximum displacement and the stress of the rod under different directions of wind load in the transmission tower. Then the failure mode of transmission tower is studied by the variable ice thickness of the tower line system. The results show that the direction parallel to the cross arm is the most unfavorable direction in the transmission tower. And under the most unfavorable wind direction, with the increase of ice thickness, it is found that the tower head part is more sensitive to icing load than the tower body part. When the thickness of ice coating reaches 30mm, the weak load-bearing rod will appear locally in the transmission tower and the position of the rod is mainly distributed on the outer upper crank arm, the outer side of the ground bracket and the upper side of cross arm of the transmission tower.
