OVERVIEW OF LOAD CRITERIA – Section 1
• Introduction (1.0)• Principal Systems of a Transmisison Line (1.1)• Loads and Relative Reliability (1.2)
– Weather Related Events– Additional Load Considerations– Loads and Load Effects
• Wire Systems (1.3)• Limit States (1.4)
– Component Strength– Relative Reliability of Components and Failure Containment– Considerations for Special Structures– Load and Resistance Factor Design

Ice and Wind 7
Introduction (1.0)
• This manual addresses transmission line structure design issues that must be considered to provide:– Cost effective structures– Reliable structures
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 8
Key Issues Addressed by the Manual
• Uniform procedures and definitions across the industry for calculation of loads.
• Structure designs with acceptable minimum reliability.
• Design loads and load factors that are independent of structure materials.
• Adjustments of load criteria to reduce occurrence of cascading failures.
• Incentives for developing better local data for weather related phenomena.
• Inclusion of legislated load.
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 9
Principal Systems of a T-Line (1.2)
• The Structural Support System.– Towers, poles and foundations.– Primary task of supporting the wire system.
• The Wire System.– Conductors, ground wires, insulators and
attachment hardware.– Much of the unusual behavior and most of
the problems in a line start on, or are generated by, the wire system.
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 10
Loads and Relative Reliability (1.2)
• Convenient to distinguish between events that produce loads and the resulting loads in the line components.
• Load events can be classified as:– Weather-Related Loads.– Construction and Maintenance Loads.– Secondary Loads.
• Loads causing damage to a line component, due to:– Vehicle or aircraft accidents– Lightning– Ice and/or wind overload– Vandalism
• May result in a cascading failure.• Falls within the designation of Failure Containment (FC).
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 11
Weather-Related Events (1.2.1)
• Extreme wind.• Extreme ice with accompanying wind.• High intensity winds
– Microbursts– Tornados
• Coincident temperature
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 12
Return Period (RPN)
• For example, an event with a 50-year return period (RP50) represents an extreme event that is reached or exceeded with a probability of 1/50 or 2% every year.
• Because extreme events are not evenly spaced over time, there will be some 50-year periods with no RP50 events and other 50-year periods with 2 or more events equaling or exceeding RP50 values.

Return Period Adjustments (1.2.1.1)
• Can adjust the relative reliability of a design by changing the RP of the design load.
• The higher the RP of the design load, the more reliable (lower probability of failure) the design.
• Using a consistent nominal design strength, the relative probability of failure of two components is inversely proportional to the design load RP.
• Thus, doubling the design load RP reduces the relative probability of failure by a factor of approximately 2.

Ice and Wind 19
Why Use Relative Reliability?
• Useful tool to approximately adjust design reliability.
• Currently very difficult to accurately calculate probability of failure.
• Powerful mathematical tools are available, but we don’t have all of the data necessary to carry out the analysis.
• For example, consider the uncertainty in predicting the Force Coefficients.

Spatial Influences on Weather-Related Events (1.2.1.2)
• Data for the wind and ice maps were collected at points.
• Appropriate for the design of point structures.• A transmission line is a linear system that is
exposed to a larger number of extreme load events than a single point structure.
• Difficult to select load criteria based on length of the line.
• Result would be structure designs suitable for a line of given length, but not suitable for another line of different length.

Additional Load Considerations (1.2.2)
• Failure containment• Construction and maintenance loads• Legislated loads
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 24
Limit States Design (1.4)
• Failure limit state– Condition where component can no longer
sustain the load.– May lead to failure of the line.
• Damage limit state– Condition where the component and line
will still function, but permanent damage has been done.
– Serviceability and performance of line may be compromised.
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 25
Load and Resistance Factor Design (1.4.4)
• Manual provides suggested load factors and load combinations for transmission line design.
• Load factors can be based on the selected Relative Reliability Factor, load combination, safety requirements and legislated standards.
• Strength factors account for the variability of component strength and are applied to nominal strength equations for the components based on strength guides and standards.

Gust Response Vs Gust Factors
• Gust Response Factor– Accounts for dynamic effects of gusts on the response of
transmission line components– Gusts may not envelop the entire span between transmission line
structures– Values can be greater than or less than 1.0– Represents the ratio of peak gust load effect to the selected mean
extreme load effect
• Gust Factor– The ratio of the gust wind speed at a specified average period, e.g.
2 seconds, to the selected mean speed, e.g. 10 minute– Used as a multiplier of the mean extreme wind speed to obtain the
gust wind speed.– Values greater than 1.0

So…What should I do now?
• Tornado F2 wind speeds (157 mph) result in little additional tower structure weights. Tower designs may require additional shear capacity due to lowering of resultant wind loads.
• Tornado F2 wind speeds (157 mph) may have no effect on pole type transmission class structures.

Investigation of Transmission Line Failures
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 -
Section 2 - Ice and Wind 76
Why investigate failures?
•Increase understanding of line behavior
•Affirmation of existing design and maintenance criteria
•Improvement of design criteria and maintenance practices
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 77
Why address failure investigations in a “Loading Manual”?
• Most likely, a utility focuses on restoring power rather than investigating a structural failure.
• “High Load” explanation may not be acceptable.
• A loading case, previously not considered, may be the limiting design condition.
• Information presented is seldom addressed in other publications.

FAILURE INVESTIGATIONS
• Our Plan is to establish and separate the failure mechanisms for the various failed structure pieces.
• Determine the initial failure regardless of cause (ice, narrow or broad front wind, missing structure members or connections, etc.).
• Determine secondary failures caused by load shift from the initial failure.

Construction & Maintenance Loads (3.1)
General• Construction Loads are directly related to construction methods• Personnel Safety is the paramount factorConstruction Loads• Loads acting on the structure due to the assembly and erection and
the installation of ground wires, insulators, conductors & hardware• Lifting of Structures
– Tilting of ground assembled structure to vertical alignment– Pick up of structural section by helicopter– Worker Loading (Point Loading on Lattice Members, Etc)
• Ground Wire & Conductor Installation– Recognizes IEEE Std. 524-03 as leading standard– Addresses common stringing load scenarios– Provides recommended minimum installation loads and load factors for
ground wires and conductors (3 psf, no ice on wires and structures)– Load Factor for transverse wind loading (1.5)– Load Factor for vertical loads from dead end condition (1.5)– Load Factor for vertical loads from intact condition (2.0)

fall protection system• Fall protection systems assumed to meet all applicable OSHA and
Government requirements• Recognizes IEEE Std. 1307-04 as Governing Standard
– IEEE Std. provides guidance regarding loads and criteria for anchorages and step bolts

Structure Vibration (3.4)• Dynamic forces such as wind, conductor motion and earthquakes
may in isolated cases cause structure vibrations• Majority of problems associated with wind induced vibration of
individual structural elements (tubular and structural shapes)• In isolated cases wind induced vibration can cause:
– Fatigue failures of the member or connection bolts– Loosening of bolted connection– Vibration of members can be eliminated using recommended design
and detailing practices– Tubular arms likely to be susceptible to vibration prior to the stringing
of the ground wire and/or conductor– Use temporary weights on tubular arms to eliminate vibration at or near
the resonant frequency
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 96
Conductor Galloping (3.5)• Galloping (the large amplitude motion) of ground wires and
conductors may occur with moderate winds blowing across ice coated wires
• Galloping of wires is a dynamic event that is random in nature and is capable of producing significant wire tension increases
• Galloping causes mainly vertical large amplitude motions with amplitudes that may reach values approaching the sag of the wires
• Galloping may cause electrical, structural and mechanical problems including:– Flashovers among wires leading to temporary outages– Clashing of wires leading to damaged conductors– Permanent increases in ground wire and conductor sag– Excessive wear, fatiguing and failure of ground wires, conductors,
insulators and hardware (particularly at dead end assemblies)– Collapse of structural systems and components
• Mitigation alternatives include the use of:– Detuning pendulums and inter-phase spacers– Airflow spoilers– Modification of conductor designs
October 18, 2006Revised ASCE Manual No. 74 - Section 2 -
Ice and Wind 97
Earthquake Load (3.6)• Transmission structures need not be designed for ground induced
vibrations caused by earthquake motion because:– Historically, transmission structures have performed well in earthquake
events (only isolated instances of failures have been recorded)– Structural loads caused by wind and/or ice loading combinations and
longitudinal loads exceed earthquake loads• Experience has shown that infrequent failures of transmission
structures are generally related to soil liquefaction and/or earth fractures
