2. Transmission line coated with ice & under the effect of wind
Even: d = conductor diameter in cm. i = radial ice thickness in cm. wi= ice weight per meter. P = wind pressure at speed of 80 km/hr. W = resultant force (weight and wind pressure).

when: T = tensile strength during the construction, in Kp (is considered constant along the transmission line). A = conductor cross section, in cm2 E = yield strength factor, in Kp/cm2 = expansion factor per C. t = ambient temperature above -10C. Tc = tensile strength in adverse conditions, in Kp (Tc obtained half of the breaking load). By solving the above formula, we obtain the value of T. Then, the arrow, during the construction, is:
We observe that:

With the values of x1, x2, the arrows D1, D2 can be calculated, as well as the height of any point on the transmission line from the ground.
Example
An overhead transmission line crosses a river and it is based on the two banks by two towers at height h1=91.4m and h2=45.7m above the water surface. The horizontal distance between the towers is 335.3 m. The maximum tensile force is T = 1932.3 Kp and the weight of the conductor is w = 0.884Kp/m. Determine the height h of the line over the water, midway between the two towers. Consider O the imaginary lowest point of the transmission line and D1, D2 the arrows from the lower and the tallest tower respectively.
