Does anybody knows a standard way of determining the height of 11 KV transmission line galvanised steel poles ?
Designing OHTL Tubular Steel Poles: What Standards Should You Be Aware Of?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The design of OHTL (Overhead Transmission Line) tubular steel poles for 11 KV transmission lines adheres to AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) standards. Companies like TAPP manufacture poles up to 110 feet tall, but the design must consider local variables such as voltage level, wind velocity, and temperature. Key standards referenced include ASCE’s Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures and ANSI/NEMA standard No. TT1 (latest edition), which provide guidelines for the structural integrity and safety of these poles.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) standards
- Familiarity with ASCE’s Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures
- Knowledge of ANSI/NEMA standard No. TT1
- Basic principles of structural engineering related to transmission lines
- Research AISC standards for transmission line pole design
- Study ASCE’s Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures in detail
- Examine the latest edition of ANSI/NEMA standard No. TT1
- Investigate local environmental factors affecting pole design, such as wind velocity and temperature
Engineers, designers, and project managers involved in the construction and maintenance of overhead transmission lines, particularly those focused on structural integrity and compliance with industry standards.
