Abstract
Based on vibration theory, simplified analytical methods for computing the first natural vibration frequency and mode of transmission steel tower are investigated, which has improved the currently applied method. The method for frequency includes parameters of lumped mass such as tower head or cross arm, and can show the influence of section of tower main leg. The method for mode considers tower height, root space and head width. Examples of some typical transmission steel towers show that the dynamic characteristics computed with the simplified analytical methods are close to those of the Finite Element Method. Then the methods given in this paper are superior to the present methods used in engineering and have a better generality, which are suitable to different tower type structures.
