Analysis of Transmission Tower Structure with Pushover Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pushover method is mainly used to find the weak part of the structure and possible failure modes. This paper presents a pushover analysis. Taking a transmission tower as an example, calculations are carried out by SAP2000 Program with assumption of rational criterion. Seismic loads of frequently met and rarely met seismic concentration degrees are considered. By comparing the structural target seismic performance and the sequence of plastic hinges induced, seismic performances of the transmission tower are estimated.
