The members of self-supporting latticed electrical transmission towers customarily consist of rolled angle sections. Nowadays, with transmission voltages in the extra-high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage ranges, the leg members are required to carry very heavy loads, especially in the case of heavy angle and anchor towers. Results of a study carried out on wide-flange shapes, to investigate their suitability as alternative sections to welded and built-up angles, are presented. The world's first transmission tower that has wide-flange shapes for legs and arms, Ontario Hydro's 500-kV double circuit heavy angle dead end tower type V6H, is described.

The vital components of the transmission line are the electrical transmission towers. They are commonly used to support the phase conductors and shield wires of a transmission line. Also the accurate prediction of tower failure is very important for the reliability and safety of the transmission system. The current research describes nonlinear FE models of predicting the transmission tower failure. In the current FE simulations, the eccentricity and the joint effect of the tower were considered. The current models have been calibrated with results from previous full-scale tower tests and numerical models with good accuracy in terms of both the failure load and the failure mode.

The towers of the to the most powerful life-line buildings that support electrical transmission line are peculiar transmission. Transmission towers are essential for providing energy to various parts of the nation. The transmission line should be stable and carefully structured with the objective that they do not fizzle in the midst of a cataclysmic event and adapt to the national and universal standard. This present paper manages the investigation of static and dynamic examination of transmission line tower . A run of the mill sort of transmission line tower is picked as contextual analysis . The examination and displaying of pinnacle is done utilizing FE based ANSYS programming. The heaps following up on the pinnacle reflected are numb burden, live burden and dynamic burdens .in this Paper the most extreme twisting joined anxieties and characteristic frequencies ,bowing minute shear constrain are gotten.
