Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures

by American Society of Civil Engineers

Published 1 January 2000

This standard provides requirements for the design, fabrication, and testing of members and connections for latticed steel electrical transmission structures. Covering guyed and self-supporting structures, these requirements are applicable to hot-rolled and cold-formed steel shapes. The standard specifies the design criteria for structure components - members, connections, and guys - to resist design-factored loads at stresses approaching yielding, buckling, or fracture. this new edition, which replaces the previous Standard ASCE 10-97, presents minor changes to the design requirements and introduces new sections on redundant members, welded angles, anchor bolts with base plates on leveling nuts, and post angle member splices.
