Abstract :
New analysis and probability-based procedures are developed for single pole transmission line structures. Results of research on strength and stiffness of wood poles are presented. A summary of preexisting data for wood pole properties is given. The probability-based procedure is illustrated by example designs. Needs for additional and improved load and material property data are discussed.
