PROBABILISTIC ASPECT OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION LINES

, and .
(1981)

Abstract

This paper deals with structural dynamics and design of transmission lines emphasizing the inherent variabilities in structural demand and resistance. Especially, the effects of wind and ice loads are treated starting from the basic principles in probabilistic settings. This includes discussion of the wind field within the framework of stochastic processes as well as a probabilistic treatment of the combined effects of wind and ice loadings. The probabilistic modelling is reinforced by experimental data. Further it is outlined how the results of a dynamic load effect analysis can be applied in a consistent design procedure that accounts properly for the stochastic nature of the problem. The procedure is basically a Hasafer-Lind safety index approach working in a finite space of basic variables. The potential of this procedure is demonstrated by a numerical example which reveals the relative importance of some of the basic variables related to wind and ice loading.
