95 kg / m2 on conductors, 385 kg / m2 on tower andinsulators. Wind blowing are in any direction,
i.e. 90, 60, 45, 0 to line.

additional unbalanced longitudinal loadsact on any wire attachment points, depending on the type of towers, as
Suspension Tower :
Unbalanced longitudinal loads equal to 100% of thetension in the shield wire or 70 % of the ten
in the conductor act onany one attachment point.
Tension / Deadend Tower : Unbalanced longitudinal loads equal to100% of the tension in the shield wire and the conducto
act on twoattachment points of shield wire, or any two attachment points ofconductor,
or combination of any one attachment point of shield wireand conductor.
(3) Construction and Maintenance Loading
All wires intact at 4 c, initial wire tension. Wind pressure of 25 kg / m2 act on shield wires,
20 kg / m2 on conductors, 77 kg / m2 on tower and insulators. Wind blowing are perpendicular to line.
additional vertical and unbalanced longitudinal loads act onany wire attachment points, depending on the type of towers,
as indicatedbelow :
Suspension Tower :
100 % of vertical load and and 50 % of wire tension.
Tension / Deadend Tower : 150 % of vertical load and 100 % of wiretension.
(4) High Intensity Loading ( Severe Wind : 90 Transverse - 45 Angular - 0Longitudinal )
All wires intact at 25 c, final wire tension.Wind pressure of 825 kg / m2 act on tower and insulators, with no wind
on shield wires and conductors. Wind blowing are in any direction, i.e. 90, 45,0 to line.
(5) Uplift Loads
For all tension / deadend towers : Normal vertical loads (additional verticalloads will be irrelevant), in all loading cases,
act upwards.
Tower design shall be performed according to ASCE Manuals and Reports onEngineering Practice No.52
Guide for Design of Steel Transmission Towers, unless otherwise specified.

Notes;
1 Minimum Yield Stress, Fy
JIS G3101 SS400 Fy = 245 N/mm2(t 16) , Fy = 235 N/mm2(16< t 40)
JIS G3101 SS540 Fy = 400 N/mm2(t 16) , Fy = 390 N/mm2(16< t 40)
2 Minimum Tensile Strength, Ft
For members connected by both legs Ft = Fy
For members connected by single leg Ft =0.9 x Fy
3 Net Sections are calculated as follows.
Net Section = Gross Area - N x D x t
Where; N : The numbers of deducted holes
D : The diameter of holes given by the nominal diameter of bolts
+ the clearance of bolts(3.0mm for M16 , M20 and M24 bolts)
t : Thickness of members
4 For Gross Area , Refer to ANNEX 1
