UHV KZ185 Crossing Tower Stress Analysis

Abstract

In terms of structure design for transmission towers, early because of restricted by calculation method, are generally will tower inner force analysis that was decomposed into several pieces of plane truss. This method omits truss space effect, is a kind of approximate calculation method. Later adopted a more accurate method of space truss, considering the relations between the deformation coordination of bar of tower structure and the mechanical equilibrium conditions, can reflect the actual situation of the tower stress relatively and accurately. The above calculation method, both plane truss method and method of space truss all nodes are assumed to be the ideal of articulated point, ignoring the interaction of the influence of secondary moment and torque to the structure. In recent years, with the rising of power grids, high voltage, large capacity of transmission lines construction become the trend of the development of the grid technology. Gradually to develop in the direction of high, long-span transmission tower, component cross section increases gradually, the second-order stress effect on the structure is becoming more and more important. The truss method in some special structure and the adaptability of complex working conditions should be tested by experiment and other finite element calculation software review.
