Evaluation of the Ultimate Collapse Load of a High-Voltage Transmission Tower under Excessive Wind Loads

Several high-voltage transmission towers failed under excessive wind loads in a mountainous and exposed area. This study discusses the efficient and reliable modeling of lattice towers dominantly loaded by wind, a scenario which led to a collapse cascade in a high-voltage transmission line. The ulti...
