[2A07-12-05] Study on the Mechanism of Structural Member Damage due to Snow Cap Load and the Countermeasure
Keywords:transmission steel tower, snow cap
In transmission towers can be damaged by snow cap. Therefore, authors conducted full-scale tests to confirm the relationship between the change in member inclination and the snow load. Furthermore, we developed an analytical model to simulate the test results and investigated countermeasures against snow loads on the analytical model.
