design of steel transmission pole structures

Abstract

ASCE/SEI 48-05 specifies requirements for the design, testing, assembly, and erection of cold-formed tubular members and connections for steel electrical transmission pole structures. Topics discussed in this standard include loading, geometry, and analysis; design of members; design of connections; detailing and fabrication; testing; structural members and connections used in foundations; quality assurance/quality control; and assembly and erection. Also included are a supplementary commentary section and appendices. The primary resource document for the development of this standard is ASCE Manual 72.
