DESIGN OF STEEL POLES FOR POWER LINES

The book "Design of Steel Poles for Power Lines" is an invaluable source of knowledge for every engineer involved in the design of structures of poles and foundations of overhead power lines. The publication combines knowledge in the field of structural reliability, methodology for determining interactions, structural statics, shaping and dimensioning of steel structures, and geotechnics. In addition, the authors present energy issues affecting the shaping of this type of structure, which makes it a comprehensive compendium of knowledge.

• Safety and reliability: Learn how to ensure the safety and reliability of supporting structures.
• Interactions on structures: Learn the specific rules for determining interactions on conductors and poles, and the rules for creating their combinations.
• Theoretical foundations: Understand the theoretical foundations for determining conductor tension forces and see how to apply them in practice.
• Practical examples: Analyze step by step an example of designing a lattice pole and a foundation of a high-voltage overhead line.
• Current knowledge: Familiarize yourself with the changes resulting from the publication of updated European standards for the design of power lines in the last 3 years.

The publication is based on the latest guidelines, including the newly introduced standard PN-EN 50341-2-22:2016-04 for the design of overhead lines with a nominal voltage above 1 kV. As a result, the reader receives current and reliable knowledge necessary for the correct design of supporting structures of power lines. This book is addressed to both engineers designing power lines and students of higher semesters of studies at faculties of civil engineering, being an excellent tool for expanding knowledge and skills in this field.
