Abstract—The purpose of this study is to analyze the ultimate strength and behavior of triangular frame and rectangular frame in elastic transmission tower. Investigation of collapse mechanism including local and global failure of partial frame was carried out through nonlinear finite element analysis . Ultimate strength and deformation was investigated in the case of shape variation by changing the innerand outerframe. The necessityof rectangular frame reducing sub-brace member was suggested through comparing the various combination of frame shape.
Index Terms— Transmission tower, triangular frame, rectangular frame, ultimate load capacity, nonlinear analysis, finite element model.
