The collapse problem of transmission tower upon strong winds was well noted in past few years. This article analyses the wind-induced collapse problem of a long-span transmission tower–line system. The member buckling effect was particularly considered. In doing so, a three-dimensional finite element model of the long-span transmission tower–line system was established in ABAQUS based on a practical project. The transmission tower and line were simulated by the frame and truss elements, respectively. The nonlinear behavior of a compressive member was simulated using the Marshall model, and the nonconvergence of numerical calculation was set to be the collapse criterion. The critical wind speed, damage position, and collapse probability were obtained from a collapse analysis of the long-span transmission tower–line system under different wind attack angles. The collapse mechanism of the long-span transmission tower–line system under a wind attack angle of 45° was investigated, and an incremental dynamic analysis was performed to evaluate the collapse-resistant capacity of the transmission tower. The study reveals that the interaction between bending moment and shear deformation is critical to the collapse of transmission tower.

The effect of multi-component multi-support excitations on the response of power transmission tower-line system is analyzed in this paper, using three-dimensional finite element time-stepping analysis of a transmission tower-line system based on an actual project. Multi-component multi-support earthquake input waves are generated based on the Code for Design of Seismic of Electrical Installations. Geometric non-linearity was considered in the analysis. An extensive parametric study was conducted to investigate the behavior of the transmission tower-line system under multi-component multi-support seismic excitations. The parameters include single-component multi-support ground motions, multi-component multi-support ground motions, the correlations among the three-component of multi-component multi-support ground motions, the spatial correlation of multi-component multi-support ground motions, the incident angle of multi-component multi-support seismic waves, the ratio of the peak values of the three-component of multi-component multi-support ground motions, and site condition with apparent wave velocity of multi-component multi-support ground motions.

The Impact

Ice shedding causes transmission lines to vibrate violently, which induces a sharp increase in the longitudinal unbalanced tension of the lines, even resulting in the progressive collapse of transmission towers in serious cases, which is a common ice-based disaster for transmission tower-line systems. Based on the actual engineering characteristics of a 500 kV transmission line taken as the research object, a finite element model of a two-tower, three-line system is established by commercial ANSYS finite element software. In the modeling process, the uniform mode method is used to introduce the initial defects, and the collapse caused by ice shedding and its influencing parameters are systematically studied. The results show that the higher the ice-shedding height is, the greater the threat of ice shedding to the system; furthermore, the greater the span is, the shorter the insulator length and the greater the dynamic response of the line; the impact of ice shedding should be considered in the design of transmission towers.
