Length: 44 pages
This 3-hour course is the fourth in a series of courses on the design of medium voltage electrical transmission lines. This volume covers pole foundations and guying. The course explains how to calculate the forces impacting a structure and how the structure foundations should be designed to withstand the forces and how guys can be used to relieve the structural forces.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how soil borings are used in transmission line design.
- Determine embedment depths for transmission line structures.
- Identify the factors that affect pole stability.
- Calculate guy loads on structures.
- Describe the load factors that affect guying.
- Identify clearance requirements on structures.
- Calculate buckling loads.
- Determine the proper size of guy anchors.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
