Mechanical Design of Overhead Power Transmission Line

Yes.

sks, The answers don't change because you choose try to be anonymous.

Duplicate thread alert.

Thought we'd got rid of you a while back

he's a stress'n because he was lag'n when they was a cover'n sag'n in HTL and now it the final's at school and ....

Obviously someone interested in a simple answer. Must be a manager.

Anyhow, one of our electrical companies in the last 2 years built a high voltage line running along an Interstate highway and for various reasons it has to cross over the highway

at times. It is the single pedestal type on a very significant concrete base. When the line changes direction to do this, estimate about 30° angle, after about 15 months they have found significant stresses on the base. Crews are back in adding reinforcements due to whatever cracks and movement they were detecting.

Even the best of planning, be it bridges or powerlines, sometimes have glitches that the engineering/design team somehow did not consider.

This sounds like incompetent engineering, substandard materials and inadequate oversight.

Or, it was designed by a manager.

Having a look at his post history previous questions is quite scary illuminating. With this additional information you can make your own informed decisions.

sks, with the questions that you ask, I first thought your a student and having problems with home work. But here you claim to be an "electrical design engineer here..." But yet you keep asking remedial questions directly related to design engineering. And it seems your over your head in the current position you hold.

Maybe you should seriously consider changing your line of work, like into "Sell Person"? The line of bs you sold your current employer that your an "Electrical Design Engineer", I'm sure you could sell beach front property in the Gobi Desert.

I'm glad that I'm on this side of the pond and hopefully you won't kill people there where your at. Good luck with your future endeavors.
