The paper deals with the towers of electric high voltage overhead lines. The target is a relatively simple suspension tower (tension support) made of hot rolled angles. The main aspects of structural design and the structural details are given due to the newly introduced design codes and the former Hungarian ones. The fundamental aim of the paper is to point out the changes according to the new developments. As an important design aid, a set of interactive programs developed by the authors is also shortly introduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
