Proceedings of the 2015 Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures Conference, held in Branson, Missouri, September 27-October 1, 2015. Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 46 peer-reviewed papers on the technical challenges and innovative solutions in grid modernization. Topics include: overhead line design; structural analysis; substation design issues; managing aging infrastructure, rerating, and upgrading; foundations; construction challenges; and special design considerations and case studies. This proceedings will be of interest to structural and civil engineers; researchers and students; government agency personnel; contractors; and suppliers involved in the overhead transmission and substation industry.<\/p>\n
