Analysis and Checking of Latticed Towers & Masts

MStower V6 is a Windows program for the analysis and checking of latticed towers and masts. It is used by designers and authorities for the checking of transmission line structures and communications towers and masts.

RENDERED PLOT OF PART OF A TOWER

The program has options for the generation of geometry and loading, analysis, application of gust factors to member forces, and checking of members. There are comprehensive facilities for plotting of the structure, loading, and results. The structure geometry is specified by data describing panels, dimensions, sections, and ancillary equipment. Section properties and ancillary data are taken from standard library files. Wind and ice loads on members, antennas, and ancillaries are computed automatically.

Loads may be computed according to the rules of:

BS 8100:Part 1:1986 (towers)
BS8100:Part 4:1995 (guyed masts)
ANSI EIA/TIA-222-F-1996
AS3995-1994
Malaysian Electricity Supply Regulations 1990

Alternatively, any user-defined wind velocity profile may be used. Patch loading may be computed for masts.

Ancillaries are shown on the screen and each may be interrogated by clicking on it.

PLOT OF PART OF TOWER WITH ANTENNAS

Member forces are extracted directly from the analysis results. Non-linear analysis is used for masts and a catenary cable element is used for the guys.

Tower members may be checked using the rules of:

BS8100:Part 3:1997 (Limit state)
BS449:1990 (Allowable stress)
AS 3995-1994 (Limit state)
ANSI 10-90 (Limit state)
EIA/TIA-222-F. 1996 (Allowable stress)

Analysis results and member check results may be displayed graphically and reports may be displayed and printed as required. An important application of MStower is the reassessment of existing structures subjected to modified loading. For example, increased loading may result from the installation of additional ancillary equipment or conductors. MStower is also useful for checking serviceability requirements. A special report gives both tower reactions and angular displacements of ancillaries under wind loading.

Basic Design and Construction aspects of Transmission Lines

2009-07-13T14:28:00.003+07:00

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 What is Transmission line?

This question can simply not be answered by a few words. Each chapter in this lecture notes probably will use to give a proper answer of it.

A transmission line is a device for the transfer of electric energy. It can transfer the energy over long or short distances, and at different voltages. Transfer of electrical energy over very long distances calls for a trunk line with high voltages. The transmission lines of very high voltages, such as; 70 kV, 150 kV, 220 kV, 400 kV, are part of a national grid (GRT in Belgium). To make it easier to understand it can be said that the transmission lines with the higher voltages are the highways in the energy transfer system. In between these highways and the small “paths”, which might call distribution network to drop the voltage line from higher level to lower level, there will be a lot of transmission lines with different voltages.

In the planning and design of transmission line, a number of requirements have to be met. From the electrical point of view, the most important requirement is insulation and safe clearances to earthed parts. These, together with the cross-section of conductors, the spacing between conductors, and the relative location of ground wires with respect to the conductors, influence the design of pylons and foundations.

Tower Sharing Telekomunikasi

2009-03-12T04:20:00.009+07:00

Dear All,.

Saya sangat berminat kepada para corespondence yang ingin menambah wawasan tentang study analisa tower telekomunikasi dan transsmissi ataupun untuk reanalysis perkuatan tower. Dan saya berharap dalam forum ini bisa mendapatkan banyak corespondence yang mau berbagi atau sharing tentang dunia civil engineer khususnya bidang sower structures.

Hal yang paling hot dibicarakan di dunia telekomunikasi saat ini adalah semakin menjamurnya tower tower baru yang sangat merusak pemandangan terutama di wilayah perkotaan. Oleh karena itu sangat perlu dibuatkan solusi untuk mengatasi masalah "jamur-jamur tersebut". Sekarang pemerintah telah mulai bertindak protective terhadap wilayahnya dari pembangunan menara BTS tersebut. Berbagai inisiatif telah dikemukakan baik dari kalangan akademis muapun dari para instansi yang bergerak dalam dunia ini misalnya para perencana atau designer struktur tower. Perlunya tower tower sharing untuk multi-operator sekarang sudah mulai dikembangkan. Terutama sistem colocation yaitu penggunaan tower existing suatu operator untuk bisa digunakan oleh beberapa operator lain. Dan hal ini telah mulai dikembangkan oleh para provider dan vendor telekomunikasi.

Perencanaan steel antenna tower sangat penting dan banyak dijumpai pada saat ini. Hal ini akibat semakin berkembang pesatnya teknologi komunikasi, sebagai contoh karena semakin banyaknya pengguna layanan komunikasi mobile phone dengan teknologi CDMA maupun GSM. Oleh karena itu pihak pengembang teknologi tersebut banyak membangun maupun merencanakan ulang tower untuk memperluas jaringan atau sinyal komunikasi. Perencanaan ulang tower yang sudah ada dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas beban antena, sehingga jaringan sinyal dapat menjangkau area yang lebih luas.

Pada perencanaan tower, beban lateral yang berpengaruh secara dominan adalah beban angin, karena pengaruh perbandingan antara ketinggian dan lebar struktur yang sangat besar (langsing). Tujuannya adalah melakukan analisa ulang kekuatan pada steel antenna tower akibat adanya penambahan beban antena. Beban angin diperhitungkan berdasarkan peraturan EIA Standard Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Tower and Antenna Supporting Structure [TIA/EIA-222-F/G, 1996]Silakan download disini
, perencanaan perkuatan tower di Indonesia lazimnya dilakukan dengan bantuan software Ms.Tower versi 6 dimana program ini sudah diakui oleh para praktisi dibidang ini.
