Abstract:

High-voltage transmission towers, as support points for overhead transmission lines, are often under the condition of unbalanced force loading. Transmission towers can collapse because of the unbalanced forces, leading to the power outage. Therefore, it is of practical importance to set a research on the effect of unbalanced force loading on the safety of transmission tower. In this paper, based on the prototype of 500kV transmission tower, the integral beam element model is established by ABAQUS finite element software for simulation analysis. Static load mode and unbalanced force loading were considered in this simulation model. Through the comparative analysis of the maximum displacement and stress in transmission tower, the safety of the 500kV transmission tower was analyzed. The variations of maximum displacement and Mises stress with the increasing unbalanced force were obtained. The limit of unbalanced force the 500kV transmission tower can sustain was given by comparing the simulated results.
