| description | Transmission lines have the characteristics of being tall tower structures with a large span distribution of transmission lines that are sensitive to external loads such as wind and ice, and belong to strong, nonlinear, complex, rigid-flexible coupling systems. The force process of the tower-line structure is a combination of instantaneous and continuously stressed, so it is not accurate to judge the safety of the transmission line based only on the operation status of the transmission tower or the conductor. In this paper, a finite element model of three towers and two lines with large span and large elevation differences is established by taking into account the tower-line coupling system. From the static point of view, the static axial force of a single tower and the contribution rate of wind and ice load are analyzed, and the ultimate bearing capacity of a tension-type electric tower is obtained by considering the bending effect and critical initial defects. From the perspective of transient dynamic response, the displacement of the tower-line coupling system under wind–ice load is calculated, and the force characteristics and force transmission process of the straight tower under wind–ice load are observed. Multiple comparison models are set up to compare and analyze the sway and tension under large span and large elevation differences, and the maximum icing thickness of each group model is obtained by repeated trials. The experimental results show that under the tower-line coupling system, the contribution of wind load to the axial force of the main material is 72.92%, and the contribution of wind–ice load to the axial force of main material is 27.6<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>%</mo><mo>.</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> The maximum increase tension under transient ice-off effect is 59.58%, the ultimate force of the tension tower is 545.5 kN, and the maximum icing thickness of the transmission line under large span and large elevation differences is 28.7 cm, which is slightly larger than the design icing thickness. In conclusion, this paper can provide reference for the construction of mountain transmission towers, power safety inspection, and line health status assessment. |
