Abstract

In this study, transmission line towers are compared for the best economic combination and minimization of their weight according to their base widths, base extension and material used for designing of the transmission line tower truss members that is either mild steel or high tensile steel and also combination of both and finalizing a base width ratio which governs to minimum weight and therefore minimum cost.

First of all, tower base width ratio is fixed to 1:1 and weight of tower and cost is figured out. Then longitudinal face is reduced with respect to fixed transverse face. And several models are compared with different base width, materials and combination of materials.
