Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Transmission Line Design (Volume V) - Pole Structures, you'll learn ...

How to design single pole structures
How to design H-frame structures
Factors that limit structure spans
Stress limitation values for various grades of wood used for poles

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 250 minutes has been met.

Length: 74 pages

This 5-hour course is the final in a series of courses on the design of medium voltage electrical transmission lines. This volume is divided into two chapters: the first chapter addresses the design of single pole structures, and the second chapter explains how to design H-frame structures.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Calculate the structural loading of single-pole structures.
Identify the factors that limit span lengths.
Determine the maximum level-ground span.
Calculate the maximum horizontal spans for a wood structure.
Apply the “ground line method” to structural analysis.
Explain the factors involved in vertical span calculations.
Identify the loading factors for H-frame structures.
Analyze the impact of crossbraces on H-frame structures.
Compare the benefits of various V-brace configurations.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
