Abstract

The use of non-conventional structures for UHV lines is the subject of intensive research, which is approaching a more advanced and concrete stage with the construction of some sections of such lines. The non-conventional line, as a complex stru.s:_ ture, reacts to loads applied from the outside in a substantially different way from that which occurs in a conventional line. The report considers some of the betterknown solutions, giving, in respect of the latter, the results of a systematic investigation on the static and dynamic behaviour of a typical line subjected to wind and ice, or else subiected to exceptional events that produce intense dynamic action. In particular the report indicates those features of behaviour that have to be taken into account in design.
