Dynamic Analysis of Power Transmission Tower Collapse with Wind Load

Transmission tower collapses in adverse weather conditions now and than,which always accompanied thunderstorm.The simulation of transmission collapse under downburst wind load is studied. The tower is modeled as an assembly of beamcolumn elements,fournode isoparametric curved element,and prestressed pole unit simulation insulator,using bilinear restoring force model to formulate the material nonlinear.Simulated downburst wind load time history samples,apply it as external load to the established transmission tower model.Analysis of transmission tower know that transmission towers destroyed in the lower part of the body of the Tower, compressive failure modes in the beam , causing transmission tower's final collapse.
