Design of Trussed Steel Towers According to the Eurocodes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with the towers of electric high voltage overhead lines. The target is a relatively simple suspension tower (tension support) made of hot rolled angles. The main aspects of structural design and the structural details are given due to the newly introduced design codes and the former Hungarian ones. The fundamental aim of the paper is to point out the changes according to the new developments. As an important design aid, a set of interactive programs developed by the authors is also shortly introduced.
