This webinar is complimentary and intended for utility asset owners.
With the advancement in Finite Element Analysis modeling software, it is possible to use these tools to accurately assess the structural health and integrity of steel transmission assets and develop reinforcing strategies. Advanced modeling tools can facilitate a deeper understanding of the behavior of transmission structures under different environmental conditions, and identify weak points that may lead to failure under extreme weather events. Once identified, weak points can be strategically reinforced to effectively harden the system by upgrading structures to withstand higher loading or comply with current regulations.
This presentation will explore advanced analysis methods and results on lattice transmission towers and poles, exploring how current analysis tools can be used to identify failure areas under various loading conditions and increased wind events.
