Taking the finite element software ANSYS as the analyzing platform, a finite element model of the ZB39 glass-shaped tangent tower model was established and static wind load was precisely applied by means of a sectional-loaded method. After analyzing its static characteristics, it was put forward that the effect of weight of transmission line could be neglected while doing design analysis under the maximum wind. What is more, with increase of the tower height, the axial stress in the main members of the tower dropped. The axial stress in the tower leg was the biggest and the tower structure had crucial impact on the members.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
