Course description
In Transmission Line Design (Volume IV) - Structural Considerations, you'll learn ...
- How soils affect pole stability
- Areas or conditions where pole embedment depths in soil may have to be greater than the minimum depth
- The application of load factors and strength factors for guys and anchors
- The three characteristics that affect the selection of structural members for poles
Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 44 pages
This 3-hour course is the fourth in a series of courses on the design of medium voltage electrical transmission lines. This volume covers pole foundations and guying. The course explains how to calculate the forces impacting a structure and how the structure foundations should be designed to withstand the forces and how guys can be used to relieve the structural forces.
