| Abstract | This study analyzed and comparedthe calculated uplift resistance values of footingsof power transmission towers using analytical formula proposed by various researchersand the solution given by a 3-dimensional finite element analysis. The constructionof new power transmission lines in rugged terrains has increased considerably in recent years to considerabledevelopment of newpower generating projects inneighbor country of Thailand.. A well-known civil engineering softwarenamely ABAQUS was adopted in this study. The linear-elastic plastic Mohr Coulomb model was considered. Both horizontal ground and sloping ground consideration were included in this study. Keywords:transmission line towers foundation, uplift resistanceof transmission line tower,uplift resistance in sloping ground, uplift resistance in hilly terrains,uplift resistance in saturated soil, uplift resistanceincohesive soil, uplift resistance in cohesionless soil. |
