This paper analyzes the influences of important structural design parameters on the wind-induced response of cross-rope suspension tower-line. A finite element model of cross-rope suspension tower-line system is established, and the dynamic time-history analysis with harmonic wave superposition method is conducted. The two important structural design parameters such as initial guy pretension and sag-span ratio of suspension-rope are studied, as well as their influences on the three wind-induced vibration responses such as tensile force on guys, the reaction force on mast supports, and the along-wind displacement of the mast top; the results show that the value of sag-span ratio of suspension-rope should not be less than 1/9 and the value of guy pretension should be less than 30% of its design bearing capacity. On this occasion, the tension in guys and compression in masts would be maintained in smaller values, which can lead to a much more reasonable structure.
The ultra-high voltage transmission line is long, which needs to pass through the various complex terrains. In order to ensure the safe structural system, understanding and grasping the wind-induced response and reliability of double column suspended guyed tower (DCSGT) in strong wind area of Gobi Desert are basic requirements. Through combining the conditional probability density of wind speed and frequency function of wind direction, the successive-type joint distribution model of wind speed and direction is obtained by multiplication theorem. In accordance with the principle of equivalent extreme value event, through utilizing the statistical moment point estimation method, the first four-order statistical moment information of equivalent extreme value variables is solved. The probability density function (PDF) of DCSGT response is calculated in accordance with these statistical moments. The dynamic reliability index and failure probability of DCSGT are solved by the moment method.
