Abstract: Angle members in steel lattice towers are currently individually designed by approximate formulas that take into account geometric and material properties, as well as conditions of eccentricity and restraint at end joints. ...

Abstract: The structural design of high voltage electric transmission lines in the U.S. is most often governed by the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). A simple Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) format is proposed as ...

Abstract: A new method for the analysis of cables that may roll on sheaves is presented. Implicit in this method is the use of a new pulley element which can model a finite length of cable supported somewhere along its length by a ...

Abstract: For many years, electric transmission line structures in the U.S. have been designed in accordance with the minimum load and strength requirements given in the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). Transmission line ...
