| Summary: | This paper investigates, through a case study, the non-linear behavior of transmission towers including the effect of secondary members, geometric non-linearity and the inelastic behavior. The study concluded the importance of including the secondary members in the analysis of transmission towers and quantified the effect of geometric non-linearity on axial forces and bending moments. The inelastic analysis of the studied tower showed that sudden collapse of the tower occurred without displaying any sign of force redistribution. |
