This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines, conductors, insulators, hardware and component assembly. In most developing countries, the term “transmission structures” usually means lattice steel towers. The term actually includes a vast range of structural systems and configurations of various materials such as wood, steel, concrete and composites. This book discusses those systems along with associated topics such as structure functions and configurations, load cases for design, analysis techniques, structure and foundation modeling, design deliverables and latest advances in the field. In the foundations section, theories related to direct embedment, drilled shaf ts, spread foundations and anchors are discussed in detail.
Featuring worked out design problems for students, the book is aimed at students, practicing engineers, researchers and academics. It contains beneficial information for those involved in the design and maintenance of transmission line structures and foundations. For those in academia, it will be an adequate text-book / design guide for graduate-level courses on the topic. Engineers and managers at utilities and electrical corporations will find the book a useful reference at work.
"I am encouraged that Sriram Kalaga and Prasad Yenumula have [...] taken their many combined years of experience and put them into a single location for the benefit of the rest of us. Design of Electrical Transmission Lines – Structures and Foundations will provide industry professionals a valuable resource from which to learn. The detailed overview and design instruction, along with references to applicable standards, will help younger industry professionals more quickly understand the basic design principles. I also believe readers will benefit from the many detailed sample problems, design tables, hardware information and line design illustrations. I trust that you will find value in spending time in this book. It will prove to be a valuable resource in your electric utility career!"
