Manual of Practice No. 74: Guidelines for Electrical Transmission Line Structural Loading
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ASCE | 2009 | 204 |
Prepared by the Task Committee on Structural Loadings of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.
This Manual provides the most relevant and up-to-date information related to transmission line structural loads. The understanding of transmission line structural loads continues to improve as a result of research, testing, and field experience. Updated and revised, this manual covers weather-related loads, relative reliability-based design, and loading specifics applied to prevent cascading types of failures, as well as loads to protect against damage and injury during construction and maintenance. This manual is intended to be a resource that can be readily absorbed into a loading policy.
This Manual will be valuable to engineers involved in utility, electrical, and structural engineering.
