Ningbo Huyong Electric Power Material Co., Ltd. produces various types of transmission line steel towers and telecommunication towers. The catalog lists 25 items including transmission line steel towers ranging from 40 to 80 meters in height for voltages from 35 to 500 kV, as well as telecommunication towers for various countries from 50 to 100 meters tall. The towers are made of hot-dip galvanized angle steel or tubular steel.
This document summarizes research on using a passive vibration damping system in a telecommunication tower. A finite element model was developed to simulate the dynamic behavior of a 40m tall truss tower. Simulation results showed that installing a viscoelastic damper below the service platform could reduce tower vibration amplitudes and member forces by half. The damper mass was connected to the tower apex nodes by three viscoelastic elements modeled as springs and dashpots. The goal was to determine damper parameters that provide maximum damping effectiveness through minimizing tower vibrations.

Controlled blasting techniques can be used to mitigate adverse impacts of blasting in mining and construction. These include line drilling, trim blasting, smooth blasting, pre-splitting, optimizing blast design parameters, accurate timing delays, and muffle blasting. Signature hole analysis uses monitoring of a pilot blast to model blast vibration and optimize delay timing to reduce vibration energy at structural resonance frequencies. Adopting controlled blasting techniques can help restrict ground vibrations and overbreak while improving safety, environmental, and economic outcomes.
The document discusses swing angle-clearance combinations specified for transmission lines in India. It analyzes how the combinations impact tower configuration and whether all specified combinations are necessary. The analysis shows that for most line voltages, only two judiciously selected swing angle-clearance combinations are sufficient to determine optimal tower configuration. The remaining extra combinations specified do not affect tower design and could be removed without compromising reliability. Using only two critical combinations could simplify transmission line design processes.

It discusses safety precautions when working with concrete, describes the standard procedures for sampling concrete from delivery trucks and performing slump and flow tests, and lists the necessary equipment. Key points include:
- Protective clothing should be worn as alkalis in concrete can harm skin and eyes.
- For sampling, scoops should be taken from four different parts of the load as it is discharged.
- For slump tests, the sample is remixed and placed in three layers in a slump cone, which is then lifted and the slump measured.
- For flow tests, the sample is placed in two layers in

The document describes a series of dynamic centrifuge tests that examined methods to reduce settlement of power transmission tower foundations during earthquakes. The tests modeled four isolated tower footing foundations on a liquefiable sand layer. Three countermeasure types were examined: 1) a base plate connecting the footings, 2) a surface plate connecting the footings at ground level, and 3) a surface plate with surrounding sheet piles. Test results showed that the base plate reduced settlement by up to 70% while the surface plate reduced it by 30%. The surrounding sheet piles showed relatively small effectiveness due to inadequate length compared to the foundation width.
