ABSTRACT
This standard provides requirements for the design of guyed
and self-supporting latticed steel electricaltransmission structures. They are applicable for hot-rolledand cold-formed steel
shapes. Analysis techniques are outlined for the geometrical
configurations presently in use. Procedures for the designof
individualmembers reflect extensive experience and test data
on steels with yield points up to 65 ksi. Connection design
procedures allow the en ineer to match connection capability
to the most suitable en3 and edge distances for detailing. If
full-scale structure testing is required, proceduresare outlined
to assist in obtainin critical information. Design procedures
cover structuralsteefrnembersa d connections used in foundations. The commentary provides supporting background
data.
