	Transmission tower testing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In an age where dual usage of power transmission towers is common place there is a need to evaluate the tower capacity, what it was prior to loading and sway or movement limits especially for the higher bandwidth Microwave point to point transmissions.
		There is is a common failure mode we have seen in the free standing towers we have tested which may require consideration for the next generation loading of these structures.
		The radial plot of the tower mode shape shows the twist and coupled with the deflection at the lower third points to the failure plane of the tower.

	Secondary Stresses on Transmission Tower Structures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The power industry is moving toward the use of high-voltage transmission lines on tall, flexible towers.
		These towers are designed for heavier loadings than were previous towers, but the secondary effects of tower displacement tend to be ignored in the present day tower analysis.
		This paper examines the secondary effects from the large displacement of flexible towers, reviews the secondary stresses arising from joint rigidity and member continuity, and examines the reliability of tower strength predicted by the ASCE design guidelines.

		TOWER is a powerful and easy to use Microsoft Windows program for the analysis and design of steel latticed towers used in electric power lines or communication facilities.
		TOWER takes advantage of symmetry in a structure in both joint and member generation, duplicating symmetrical joints and members about either axis, both axes and even in a triangular format found in many communication structures.
		TOWER provides a well defined XML output file and hooks that enable pre and post-processors to be connected to the program making it the ideal engine of your custom lattice tower analysis process.

		Transmission towers bring electricity from generating plants to our communities and into our homes. They are a vital part of the electric transmission and distribution system. However, they can also be dangerous if people do not exercise reasonable caution around them.
		The transmission towers are primarily located on property owned by CenterPoint Energy and clearly marked with “NO TRESPASSING” signs, which are visible to anyone.
		The vast majority of the towers are also equipped with danger signs. These signs are clearly visible and warn the public to stay off the towers and of the danger of hazardous voltage above. Step bolts on the tower are located approximately 12 feet above the ground in most cases.

	ANCO Develops Transmission Tower Load Limited (ANCONEWS VOL. 3, NO. 3)
		Many electric power transmission towers are designed with a relatively brittle lattice steel structure that is prone to failure when subjected to extraordinary single dynamic events caused by storms, wind, tree strike, ice load shedding, tornadoes, aircraft impact, stringing accidents, and vandalism.
		Several feet of ductility are needed to prevent tower failure." In the worst scenarios, miles of towers have been lost in a domino effect emanating from a single event.
		In the event of a dynamic load that could fail the tower or tower arm, the TL3 extends plastically up to 2 meters (7 feet) to absorb the shock energy and limit the force applied to the tower or adjacent towers.

		In the transmission line maintenance fault prevention is probably more ecnomical and it is normally in the form of routine preventive maintenance.

	Stressing of Transmission Tower Peak by Lighting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A lightning stroke on the peak of a transmission line tower causes a current to flow to the ground through the peak members if the overhead ground wire is not connected directly to the ground electrode.
		The failure of the tower peak so designed due to electromagnetic forces caused by lightning currents is illustrated with an example.
		An electrical connection between the overhead ground wire and the ground electrode or reinforcement of the tower peak are recommended to be the viable remedial measures.

		They consider their situation very different from those who protest cell phone towers, in that this is concerned with current ill health, not the potential for future ill health.
		The report notes some evidence of a relationship between the years when additional FM transmissions were added to the tower, and the onset of ill health.

	Groundspeak Forums -> Cache Beneath A Transmission-line Tower
		Maybe towers aren't that big of an issue but intuition and common sense told me, as it does miragee, that power tower bases don't make the best location for a regular container cache hide.
		If the goal was to offer cachers the view of the neighborhood behind the tower, and the marsh and lagoon in the other direction, another placement just 50 or 60 feet away from the tower would have worked just as well.
		All that aside, there are all sorts of buildings, roads, plagrounds, parks, etc under and near such towers, so no, I don't think it's a bad place for a cache, other than the fact that static electricity might keep hunters on their toes.
