FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1 /Section 2) (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after
the draft finalized by the Structural Engineering and Structural Sections Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Transmission towers are tall structures, usually steel lattice towers, used to support overhead power lines.
Transmission line towers are key infrastructural components. The standards under IS 802 series have been
formulated with a view to establish uniform practices for design, fabrication, inspection and testing of overhead
transmission line towers.
This standard (Part 1/Section 2) is a part of a series of standards thus formulated and covers requirements in
regard to material, loads and design strengths apart from other relevant design provisions. The other parts in the
series are:
Part 2 Fabrication, galvanizing, inspection and packing
Part 3 Testing
Part 4 Requirements for latticed switchyard structures (under preparation)
Part 5 Requirements for tall river crossing towers (under preparation)
This standard (Part 1/Section) was first published in 1967 and subsequently revised in 1973, 1977 and 1995. The
standard in its third revision was split in two sections, namely Section 1 Materials and loads, and Section 2
Permissible stresses.
Some of the major modifications made in this standard (Part 1/Section 2) in this revision are:
a) Title and scope has been modified to cover design strength and other design parameters in place of
permissible stresses.
b) Permissible stresses in structural members have been defined separately for angle and hollow sections.
b) Requirements on permissible stresses in bolts have been modified.
c) Requirements on net effective area for angle section in tension has been modified.
d) Requirements on stitch bolts have been incorporated.
e) Provision for welded connections have been included.
f) Annex C on examples of determination of slenderness ratios has been modified.
Design provisions or other items not covered in this standard shall generally be in accordance with IS 800 : 2007
General Construction in Steel Code of Practice.
While formulating this Code, practices prevailing in the country in this field have been kept in view. Assistance
has been derived from the following publications:
a) Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures, ASCE-10-97
b) IEC 60050-826 International Electrotechnical Vocabulary Part 826: Electrical installations
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex C.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall he rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised ). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
