Abstract: The stress, strain and stability of slope would be changed if an Electricity transmission tower built on loess slope. In this paper, the distribution of stress, strain characteristic and stability of loess slope in condition of 30 meters height and 45 °slope triggered by action of Electricity transmission tower should be studied, the result shown that stability of loess slope dominated by the initial stress states, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio, strength and shape, structure and load condition etc. the stability distance of transmission line tower be located on loess slope governed by the stability of initial slope and the effect range triggered by tower load, in condition of 30 meters height and 45 °loess slope, the stability distance nearly 20m to 25m.

Abstract: The performance of resisting foundation displacement of a typical single return circuit transmission tower under all kinds of load conditions including foundation horizontal displacement, foundation vertical uneven downward displacement was analyzed by finite element modeling. Results showed that stability failure of single steel angle represents tower’s limit state under foundation displacement. And the corresponding foundation displacement limits were calculated. Results indicate that foundation pull condition is more dangerous than press condition. Under complex foundation displacement conditions, foundation horizontal displacement is primary factor leading to stability failure of towers. Under foundation press condition and pull condition, wind load is primary factor. Result also indicates that, tower does not fail when foundation displacements are smaller than 1.25% (under foundation press condition and pull condition) or 0.5% (under single foundation sink condition) of tower root distance.
