T/CEC 5064-2021 Design Specification for Tensioning Towers of Overhead Transmission Lines
T/CEC 5064-2021
Basic Information
Scope
1.0.1 In order to implement the national basic construction principles and technical and economic policies in the design of tension towers for overhead transmission lines, and to ensure safety, reliability, advanced applicability, economic rationality, resource conservation, and environmental friendliness, these specifications are formulated. 1.0.2 These specifications apply to the design of tension towers for AC and DC overhead transmission lines with voltages of 110 kV and above. 1.0.3 The design of tension towers should be based on practical considerations and regional characteristics, and actively adopt advanced technologies and products that are energy-saving, consumption-reducing, and environmentally friendly. 1.0.4 The design of tension towers adopts the limit state design method, and the expressions of the limit state design include the standard values of loads, the standard values of material properties, the standard values of geometric parameters, and various partial safety factors. 1.0.5 When designing tension towers with new theories, new materials, or new structural forms, if there is a lack of practical experience, they should be verified through testing. 1.0.6 Tension towers are usually used for suspension towers, and they should not be used as anchor towers. 1.0.7 In addition to meeting the requirements of these specifications, the design of tension towers for overhead transmission lines shall also comply with the provisions of the relevant national standards currently in force.
