Abstract: An optimal design formulation is presented that incorporates the use of standard prefabricated sections for the design of steel transmission poles. This standardization is achieved by discretizing the design variables for ...

Abstract: The problem of optimal design of latticed transmission towers subjected to normal operating loads and an earthquake load is formulated. A time history analysis of the structure is performed. The constraints given in a ...

Abstract: The design of H-frame transmission poles subjected to static and dynamic loads (earthquake load) is formulated as an optimization problem. Time history analysis, discrete design variables, and optimization algorithms are ...

Abstract: Design of steel transmission poles is formulated as an optimization problem by identifying design variables, a cost function, and constraints. Nonlinearities in structural response calculations due to large deflections are ...

Abstract: Design of prestressed concrete transmission poles is formulated as an optimization problem by identifying design variables, a cost function, and constraints. Example problems are solved, and solutions are compared with ...
