ABSTRACT
In this project, the design of steel lattice tower prescribed for transmission of electricity by the
categorized gravity and lateral loads has been studied and analyzed for the employment of the
project. The analysis has been done by taking different combination of loads and then the design
has been come into picture using the code module IS 800:2007. The present work describes the
analysis and design of transmission line tower of 30 meter height viz. various parameters. In
design of tower for weight optimization some parameters are considered such as; base width,
height of tower, outline of tower. Using STAAD Pro. , analysis of transmission towers has been
carried out as a 3-D structure. The tower members are designed as angle section .Transmission
line tower constitute about 28 to 42 percent of the cost of the transmission power line project.
The increasing demand for electricity can be made more economical by developing different
light weight configuration of transmission line tower. In this study an attempt is made to model,
analyse and design a 220KV transmission line tower using manual calculations. The tower is
designed in wind zone – II with base width 1/6thof total height of the tower. This objective is
made by choosing a 220 KV single circuit transmission line carried by square base self
supporting tower with a view to optimize the existing geometry .Structure is made determinate
by excluding the horizontal members and axial forces are calculated using method of joints and
design is carried out as per IS CODE 800:2007. The desired safety factors have been actuated
contemplating the selected location i.e Allahabad. The various factors including environmental
and materials used for the structure is also considered. The software tool used in the process is
STAAD.Pro 2008. The load calculations were performed manually but the analysis and design
results were obtained through STAAD.Pro 2008. At all stages, the effort is to provide optimally
safe design along with keeping the economic considerations.

CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
India has a large population residing all over the country and the electricity supply need of this
population creates requirement of a large transmission and distribution system. Also, the
disposition of the primary resources for electrical power generation viz., coal, hydro potential is
quite uneven, thus again adding to the transmission requirements. Transmission line is an
integrated system consisting of conductor subsystem, ground wire subsystem and one subsystem
for each category of support structure. Mechanical supports of transmission line represent a
significant portion of the cost of the line and they play an important role in the reliable power
transmission. They are designed and constructed in wide variety of shapes, types, sizes,
Configurations and materials.
The supporting structure types used in transmission lines generally fall into one of the three
categories: lattice, pole and guyed. The supports of EHV transmission lines are normally steel
lattice towers. The cost of towers constitutes about quarter to half of the cost of transmission line
and hence optimum tower design will bring in substantial savings. The selection of an optimum
outline together with right type of bracing system contributes to a large extent in developing an
economical design of transmission line tower. The height of tower is fixed by the user and the
structural designer has the task of designing the general configuration and member and joint
details.
The goal of every designer is to design the best (optimum) systems. But, because of the practical
restrictions this has been achieved through intuition, experience and repeated trials, a process
that has worked well.

A steel transmission tower is a tall structure, usually a steel lattice tower, used to support an
overhead power line. They are used in high voltage AC and DC system, and come in a wide
variety of shape and sizes. Typical height ranges from 15 to 55 m (49 to 180 ft) though the tallest
are the 370 m (1214 ft).
In addition to steel other materials may be used, including concrete and wood. The transmission
tower is an important tower accessory and the performance of the transmission line very much
on the design of the transmission tower. The electric transmission tower can be classified several
ways. Here we will try to classify it broadly.
The most obvious and visible owe type tower are-
1. Lattice structure
2. Tubular pole structure
Lattice structure
Lattice steel towers are made up of many different steel structural components connected
together with bolts or welded. Many different types of lattice steel towers exist. These towers
are also called self-supporting transmission towers or free-standing towers, due to their
ability to support themselves. These towers are not always made of steel; they can also be
made of aluminum or galvanized steel. Self- supporting lattice structure are used for
electricity transmission line tower. The lattice structure can be erected easily in very
inaccessible location as the tower member can be easily transported. Lattice structure are
light and cost effective.
Tubular steel poles: Tubular steel poles are another of the major types of transmission
towers. They are made up of hollow steel poles. Tubular steel poles can be manufactured as
one large piece, or as several small pieces which fit together

Components of transmission tower
Transmission tower consists of following parts
1- Boom of transmission tower
2- Cage of transmission tower
3- Cross arm of transmission tower
9. 9
4- Peak of transmission tower
5- Transmission tower body
Peak of transmission tower
The Peak of transmission tower is mainly used for lay ground wire in suspension clamp and
tension clamp in suspension and angle tower locations. Peak is a portion of the above vertical
configuration of top cross arm. We can simply say that Peak is the section above the boom in
case of the horizontal section of tower. The peak height depend on the specific angle of shield
and clearance of mid span.
Fig-1. 2: Peak of Transmission Tower
Cross arm of transmission tower
Cross Arm is one of the key components of transmission line and it holds the power conductor.
Cross arm can vary due to the location and power carried by the transmission line. Number of
cross arms depend on the number of circuits consist in Transmission Line
10. 10
Fig- 1.3: Cross Arm of Steel Transmission Tower
The Cage
The area between tower body and peak is known as the cage of the Transmission Tower. The
main vertical section of any transmission tower is named as cage. Normally cross section of cage
takes square shape and the shape is also depending on the height of the transmission line.
Fig-1.4: Cage Of Transmission Tower
Body of Tower
Tower body is the main part of the tower which connects the boom and the cage to tower
foundation on body extension or the leg extension. The shape of the body is square type and
tower body consist two columns which connected ate the end of the foundations.

1.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to analyse and design a steel transmission tower using STAAD
Pro.The tower is situated at Allahabad, which comes into wind zone II
1.3 SCOPE OF PRESENT WORK:
Continuous demand due to increasing population in all sectors viz. residential, commercial and
industrial leads to requirement of efficient, consistent and adequate amount of electric power
supply which can only be fulfilled by using the Conventional Transmission Towers.It can be
substituted between the transmission line of wide based tower where narrow width is required for
certain specified distance.
12. 12
Effective static loading on transmission line structure, conductor and ground wire can be
replaced with the actual dynamic loading and the results can be compared. Attempt in changing
the shape of cross arm can lead to wonderful results. Rapid urbanization and increasing demand
for electric, availability of land leads to involve use of tubular shape pole structure. also
restricted area (due to non-availability of land), more supply of electric energy with available
resources and for continuous supply without any interruption in the transmission line, will
demand the use of high altitude narrow based steel lattice transmission.

LITERATURE REVIEW
GENERAL
Research work done in the last twenty years in the area of transmission line tower failures, X-
braced panels, K-braced panels, single angle compression members, behavior of bolted
connections, dynamic behavior of towers, local buckling in angle sections have been reviewed in
this chapter and is broadly classified into two phases namely, analytical studies on cross bracing
systems, analytical studies on the failure of transmission line towers in the field and experimental
investigations on cross bracing systems and on the transmission line towers in the laboratory.
(Y. M. Ghugal, U. S. Salunkhe ,2011) Analysis and Design of Three and Four Legged
400KV Steel Transmission Line Towers: The four legged lattice towers are most commonly
used as transmission line towers. Three legged towers only used as telecommunication,
microwaves, radio and guyed towers but not used in power sectors as transmission line towers.
In this study an attempt is made that the three legged towers are designed as 400 KV double
circuit transmission line tower. The present work describes the analysis and design of two self-
supporting 400 KV steel transmission line towers viz three legged and four legged models using
common parameters such as constant height, bracing system, with an angle sections system are
carried out. In this study constant loading parameters including wind forces as per IS: 802 (1995)
are taken into account. After analysis, the comparative study is presented with respective to
slenderness effect, critical sections, forces and deflections of both three legged and four legged
towers. A saving in steel weight up to 21.2% resulted when a three legged tower is compared
with a four legged type.
(V. Lakshmi1, A. Rajagopala Rao,2003) Effect of medium wind intensity on 21m 132kv
transmission tower: The Recommendations of IS 875-1987, Basic wind speeds, Influence of
height above ground and terrain, Design wind speed, Design wind pressure, Design wind force is
explained in detailed. An analysis is carried out for the tower and the performance of the tower
and the member forces in all the vertical, horizontal and diagonal members are evaluated. The
critical elements among each of three groups are identified. In subsequent chapters the
14. 14
performance of tower under abnormal conditions such as localized failures are evaluated. The
details of load calculation, modeling and analysis are discussed. The wind intensity converted
into point loads and loads are applied at panel joints.
(G.Visweswara Rao,1995) Optimum designs for transmission line towers: A method for the
development of optimized tower designs for extra high-voltage transmission lines is presented in
the paper. The optimization is with reference to both tower weight and geometry. It is achieved
by the control of a chosen set of key design parameters. Fuzziness in the definition of these
control variables is also included in the design process. A derivative free method of nonlinear
optimization is incorporated in the program, specially developed for the configuration, analysis
and design of transmission line towers. A few interesting result of both crisp and fuzzy
optimization, relevant to the design of a typical double circuit transmission line tower under
multiple loading condition, are presented.
(S.Christian Johnson 1 G.S.Thirugnanam 2010) Experimental study on corrosion of
transmission line tower foundation and its rehabilitation: In transmission line towers, the
tower legs are usually set in concrete which generally provides good protection to the steel.
However defects and cracks in the concrete can allow water and salts to penetrate with
subsequent corrosion and weakening of the leg. When ferrous materials oxidized to ferrous oxide
(corrosion) its volume is obviously more than original ferrous material hence the chimney
concrete will undergo strain resulting in formation of cracks. The cracks open, draining the water
in to chimney concrete enhancing the corrosion process resulting finally in spelling of chimney
concrete. This form of corrosion of stub angle just above the muffing or within the muffing is
very common in saline areas. If this is not attended at proper time, the tower may collapse under
abnormal climatic conditions. Maintenance and refurbishment of in-service electric power
transmission lines require accurate knowledge of components condition in order to develop cost
effective programs to extend their useful life. Degradation of foundation concrete can be best
assessed by excavation. This is the most rigorous method since it allows determination of the
extent and type of corrosion attack, including possible involvement of microbial induced
corrosion. In this paper, Physical, Chemical and electro chemical parameters, studied on
transmission line tower stubs excavated from inland and coastal areas have been presented. A
methodology for rehabilitation of transmission tower stubs has been discussed.

METHODOLOGY
The principle objective of this project is to analyze and design Steel Transmission Tower using
STAAD Pro. The design involves load calculations manually and analyzing the whole structure
by STAAD Pro. The design methods used in STAAD Pro analysis are Limit State Design
confirming to Indian standard code of practice. STAAD Pro features a state of the art user
interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite elements
and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to visualization
and result verification, STAAD Pro is the professional choice. Initially we started with the
analysis of simple to dimensional frames and manually checked the accuracy of the software
with our results. The results proved to be very accurate. We analyzed & design a Steel
Transmission Tower initially for all possible load combinations (dead, live, wind, and seismic
loads).
STAAD Pro has a very interactive user interface which allows the users to draw the frame and
input the load values and dimensions. Then according to the specified criteria assigned it analysis
the structure and designs the members.
We continued with our work with some more 2D & 3D frames under various loads
combinations. Our final work was the proper analysis & design of Steel Transmission Tower
under various load combinations. The total height of Steel Transmission Tower is 30m and
structure is subjected to self weight, dead load, live load, & wind load under the load case details
of STAAD Pro.
The wind load values are generated by STAAD Pro considering the given wind intensities with
the specifications of IS 875 Part 3.
The materials were specified & cross sections of beams in members were assigned. The supports
at the base of the structure were specified as fixed. Then STAAD Pro was used to analyze the
structure and design the members. In the post processing mode after the completion of design we
can work on structure and study bending moment and shear force values with generated
16. 16
diagrams. We may also check the Deflections of various members under the given loading
combinations.
The design of the Steel Transmission Tower is depend upon the minimum requirements as
prescribed in the Indian Standard codes. Strict conformity loading standards recommended in
this code, it is hoped that it will ensure the structural safety of the tower which are being
designed. Structure and structural elements were normally designed by limit state methods.
3.1 SECTION PROPERTY
There are four types of angle are used in this tower.
1- ISA 200*200*25 (For main legs)
2- ISA 100*100*8 (For diagonal bracing)
3- ISA 130*130*10 (for horizontal bracing)
4- ISA 90*90*12 (For cross arm)
Fig 3.1 Section Properties
3.2 SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE TOWER
Supports are arguably one of the most important aspects of a structure, as it specifies how the
forces within the structure are transferred to the ground. This knowledge is required before
solving the model, as it tells us what the boundary conditions are.
17. 17
The support used for this project tower is fixed support.
FIXED SUPPORT
A fixed support is the most rigid type of support or connection. They are also known as rigid
support.
It can resist vertical and horizontal forces as well as moment since they restrain both rotation and
translation.
Fig 3.2 Fix Support
3.3 TYPES OF LOADS FOR ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
For the Transmission tower, analysis was performed and the design done for the following loads:
18. 18
Self Weight
Wind load
Cable load
Self Weight
The self weight is precisely considered as the dead load of the structure as these loads neither
change their position nor do they vary their magnitude. Actually, according to IS 1911:1967, the
density of steel is 7850 kg/m3 but we have assumed the self weight of both super and
substructure of the tower as 1 kN/m2 in downward direction
CABLE LOAD
The weight of the cable wire constitute cable load.
Fig:3.1 Cable Load
The forces at the support ends of the cable can be estimated as
T = (H2
+ (w L / 2)2
)0.5
where T = forces at supports
and, H = mid span force in the cable and can be calculated as:
H = w L2
/ (8 d)
19. 19
Where w = unit weight of the cable
L = cable span
d = cable sag
Since the wires are in sag position, therefore the load is inclined at some angle .
Hence this load is resolved into two components namely horizontal and vertical.
Horizontal components are canceled due to equal and opposite forces acting on tower.
Vertical component adds up to the self weight of the tower.
Fig – 3.2 Cable Load on Tower
WIND LOAD
The term wind denotes almost exclusively to horizontal wind. Wind pressure, therefore, acts
horizontally on the exposed surfaces of towers. Here, we have followed Design wind speed as
per IS: 875-1987.
The design wind speed (Vz) is obtained by multiplying the basic wind speed (Vb) by the factors
k1,k2 and k3.
Vz =Vb×k1×k2 ×k3
Where, Vb= the basic wind speed in m/s at 10 m height
20. 20
K1= probability factor (or risk coefficient)
K2 = terrain, height and structure size factor
K3 = topography factor. The basic wind speed of Allahabad is taken as 47 m/s as per IS-
875:1987 Part-III.
Probability factor (or risk coefficient), k1
The factor k1is based on statistical concept which take account of degree of reliability required a
period of time in years during which there will be exposure to wind. In actual practice the factor
k1 depends on type and importance of structure, design life of structure and basic wind speed in
the region
Terrain, height and structure size factor, k2
This factor takes into account terrain roughness, height and size of structure for determining k2 .
Terrains are classified in to four categories and structures according to their heights into three
classes.
Categories of structure
There are mainly four categories of structure for terrain, height and structure size which are as
follows:
Category 1:
This represents exposed open terrain with few or no obstructions i.e. open sea coasts and flat
treeless plains.
Category 2:
This represents open terrain with well scattered obstructions having height between 1.5 to 10 m.,
i.e. air fields, under developed built-up outskirts of towns and suburbs.
Category 3:
This represents terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions. This category includes well
wooded areas, shrubs, towns and industrial areas fully or partially developed.
Category 4:
This represents terrain with numerous large high closely spaced obstructions above 25m., i.e.
large city centres.
21. 21
Classes of structure
There are mainly three Classes of structure are as follows:
Class A:
Structures having maximum dimension less than 20m.
Class B:
Structures having maximum dimension between 20m to 50 m
Class C:
Structures having maximum dimension greater than 50m
Fig 3.3 – Wind Load On Tower
.3.2 WIND LOAD CALCULATION
The design wind pressure Pz is calculated by the following equation
Pz = 0.6 xVz
2
Where, Pz = design wind pressure in N/m2
Vz = design wind speed in m/s .
To calculate design wind pressure, Vz= VR×K1×K2
VR = reduced wind speed
VR = Vb/k0
22. 22
Vb = basic wind speed
K0 =1.375 [conversion factor]
K1 = risk coefficient
K2 = terrain roughness coefficient.
Wind Pressure Details:
Basic wind speed Vb = 47 m/s
Wind zone –II
Reliability level –2
Terrain category –2
Reference wind speed VR = Vb/Ko
= 47/1.375
= 34.1818 m/s
Design wind speed Vz = VR x k1 x k2
K1=risk coefficient for wind zone II and return period 50 years =1
K2=Terrain roughness coefficient for open terrain category 2 =1
Therefore, Vz = 34.1818 x 1 x 1
= 34.1818 m/s.
Now, Design wind pressure Pz = 0.6 x Vz
2
= 0.6 x 34.18182
= 701.03 N/m2

CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSION
It has been revealed that the load combinations involving wind-forces were critical amongst all
combinations. Hence the design was carried out for those combinations.The design given by
STAAD.Pro has been found to be complying with IS-800: 1984 and all the members were safe.
Steel lattice transmission tower considered in this paper can safely withstand the design wind
load and actually load acting on tower. The bottom tier members have more role in performance
of the tower in taking axial forces. The vertical members are more prominent in taking the loads
of the tower than the horizontal and diagonal members, the members supporting the cables at
higher elevations are likely to have larger influence on the behavior of the tower structure. The
effect of twisting moment of the intact structure is not significant.
