Download or read book Design of Electrical Transmission Lines written by Sriram Kalaga and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines, conductors, insulators, hardware and component assembly. In most developing countries, the term “transmission structures” usually means lattice steel towers. The term actually includes a vast range of structural systems and configurations of various materials such as wood, steel, concrete and composites. This book discusses those systems along with associated topics such as structure functions and configurations, load cases for design, analysis techniques, structure and foundation modeling, design deliverables and latest advances in the field. In the foundations section, theories related to direct embedment, drilled shaf ts, spread foundations and anchors are discussed in detail. Featuring worked out design problems for students, the book is aimed at students, practicing engineers, researchers and academics. It contains beneficial information for those involved in the design and maintenance of transmission line structures and foundations. For those in academia, it will be an adequate text-book / design guide for graduate-level courses on the topic. Engineers and managers at utilities and electrical corporations will find the book a useful reference at work.

Download or read book Bridges written by Baidar Bakht and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-09 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a valuable guide for practicing bridge engineers and graduate students in structural engineering; its main purpose is to present the latest concepts in bridge engineering in fairly easy-to-follow terms. The book provides details of easy-to-use computer programs for: · Analysing slab-on-girder bridges for live load distribution. · Analysing slab and other solid bridge components for live load distribution. · Analysing and designing concrete deck slab overhangs of girder bridges under vehicular loads. · Determining the failure loads of concrete deck slabs of girder bridges under concentrated wheel loads. In addition, the book includes extensive chapters dealing with the design of wood bridges and soil-steel bridges. Further, a unique chapter on structural health monitoring (SHM) will help bridge engineers determine the actual load carrying capacities of bridges, as opposed to their perceived analytical capacities. The chapter addressing structures made with fibre-reinforced polymers will allow engineers to design highly durable, economical and sustainable structures. This chapter also provides guidance on rehabilitating deteriorated structures with these new materials. The book also deals with the philosophy of bridge design without resorting to complex equations. Additional material to this book can be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com

Excerpt: ...brackets, riveted to the outer stiffeners of the bridge. This construction was considered advisable as the line had to cross two railroads, one heavy high-voltage line on tall towers, and several very important telephone and telegraph systems, and 1 Subsequently wrecked by a very severe sleet-storm. there was not enough space available between the existing power and telegraph systems. In making such attachments to bridges, and to some extent to any foreign structures, the construction must be accessible without interference with other interests, and at the same time be free from the probability of injury by foreign workmen. CHAPTER VIII CONCRETE POLES Wood poles had and still have certain advantages; they also have certain disadvantages. Some of the good points cannot be duplicated in concrete, but on the other hand, some of the objectionable features can be eliminated. Therefore, omitting undue enthusiasm on the one hand and any pretensions to magic excellence on the other, the matter is purely and simply one of final cost and final efficiency. It is self evident that concrete poles can be made, and it is fairly well known that a few thousand have been made and are now in service. The only remaining considerations seem to be ones of mechanical efficiency and actual or proper cost. The question of mechanical efficiency is in reality combined with that of cost. Given time-and money enough there are few structures which cannot be constructed, even by an amateur. Economical construction is another matter, and by economical is meant true economy--final economy--not merely reduced first cost. Thus, in the case of pole construction, we find that some have been built at a low initial cost but with an equally low mechanical efficiency, while...
Download or read book Cable Supported Bridges written by Niels J. Gimsing and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen years on from its last edition, Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design, Third Edition, has been significantly updated with new material and brand new imagery throughout. Since the appearance of the second edition, the focus on the dynamic response of cable supported bridges has increased, and this development is recognised with two new chapters, covering bridge aerodynamics and other dynamic topics such as pedestrian-induced vibrations and bridge monitoring. This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges, suspension as well as cable stayed, covering both design and construction aspects. The emphasis is on the conceptual design phase where the main features of the bridge will be determined. Based on comparative analyses with relatively simple mathematical expressions, the different structural forms are quantified and preliminary optimization demonstrated. This provides a first estimate on dimensions of the main load carrying elements to give in an initial input for mathematical computer models used in the detailed design phase. Key features: Describes evolution and trends within the design and construction of cable supported bridges Describes the response of structures to dynamic actions that have attracted growing attention in recent years Highlights features of the different structural components and their interaction in the entire structural system Presents simple mathematical expressions to give a first estimate on dimensions of the load carrying elements to be used in an initial computer input This comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of cable supported bridges provides an invaluable, tried and tested resource for academics and engineers.
