Damage Inspection and Assessment on a Transmission Angle Tower in Coastal Areas

Abstract:

The field inspection and safety assessment of a transmission angle tower are actively carried out in this study. The field measurement and inspection are firstly introduced and then the structural model is constructed based on finite element approach with the aiding of commercial package ANSYS. The equation of motion of the transmission tower-line system is established for numerical analysis. The gravity, base settlement and dynamic wind loading are applied on the tower to examine the structural responses. The deformation and stresses distribution of the transmission angle tower are computed to explore the damage reasons. The made observations indicate that the peak stresses of some members are large than the permitted yielding stresses of steel material. The damage event is induced by coupling loading effects
