SCOPE: This code applies to the design of steel transmission line structures for high voltage and extre high voltage transmission lines. The code elso applies to high voltage and extra high voltage suitche yard structures such as rack structures, grourd wires, masts, ete, The code aims to produce structures which will (a) have an appropriate margin of safety against collapse while men are working on the structures; (bo) keep the incidence of structural collapses under extremely ‘high winds to a suitable low level; (c) keep the incidence and extent of structural damage due to breakege of cables or hardware to a cuitable los level, 2, DEFINITIONS: Suspension Structure One to which conductors are connected by suspension insulators and on which conductors will not be terminated, Anchor Structure One to which conductors are connected by strain insulators and designed to resist permanent, termination of conductors or temporary termina tion of conductors for more than a period of sone few weeks such a3 my occur during maintensnos or stringing, Strain Structure Any other structure strung with strain insulators. Single circuit strain structures are to be deeigiiod for the temporary termination of any one phase (i.e. for a period not exeeeding some few weeks). Double circuit strain structures are to be designed for the tempor termination of any onc ciresit (i.e. for a period not exceeding some few weeks) Wor} Tension (M.W.T,) Tog tension in the cables under 10 p.s.f, lateral wind pressure on cables at 60°F or under no wind and a temperature of 40°F - whichever is the greater. (Note that while this is the reference tension to oof ich oC be. stringing work,this code requires struetures to igher wind pressures on Sables without”structural failure: Shont-Circiit Tension (3.C,7,) (Aelevant only to switchyard structures) ‘The maximum increase in conductor tension due to the effects of a short~cireuit condition in a bundled conductor (i.e, S.C,T, is the peak inerease in tension above that existing immediately prior to short~cireuit). Dynamic load Factor (D.L.F,) (Relevant only to switchyard structures) A factor used in assessing the response of a structire to the dynanic short-circuit loading. The value of D.L.F. for a particular. structure depends on its natural, period of vibration, and also on the nature and duration of the initial dynamic short-circuit loading, Dynamic Pressure ‘The pressure equivalent to the kinetic energy of the moving alr - a a ae tat is Pager? 7 P PSS VS us : Se ke Gor peat whore = eynamte pressure ——— (= density of the moving abr (Ua kph Lm ¥ = velocity of the moving air 7 ad ‘The force acting on an ebject in the air is the product of its drag coefficient, area and the dynanie pressure — that is Fac).

DESIGN BASED ON ULITATE sTREWGTH: The loadings specified herein are ultimate loads, ‘Transmission line structures shall be designed such that their ultimate strength when tested on non~yielding foundations is just sufficient to resist the loads specified in this code. Deflection at ultimate strength will rarely be of importance. The sumary of loadings as given in Table 1 provide an appropriate safety margin for men working on the structure under moderate winds. loads grplied during stringing mst not exceed 504 of the specified loadings given in Table 1, 4.
