Tubular Steel Tower

Features
1. Connecting structure
The tubular steel tower’s main material column is connected by a flange or has an intersecting connection, and its slant and main material column are connected via connecting plates or an intersecting connection. The steel lattice tower’s main material column has an inner and outer connection, and other members are connected by connecting plates, screws and bolts.
The connecting structure between the flange and connecting plate is relatively simple. Although it increases the welding workload, it reduces the adverse effects on structure bearing capacities, such as the steel angle component’s eccentricity. What’s more, it enhances the rigidity and compactness of connecting points, which improves the stiffness, stability, and wind-induced dynamic effect resistance of the overall structure.
2. Load
The tubular steel tower’s member bears a low wind pressure and has a great bending stiffness. Its simple structure and clear force transmission give full play to the material bearing capacity, which not only reduces the tower weight, but allows it to withstand extreme conditions. After meeting the calculation demands for strength and stability, the tower has a design for a relatively small wind pressure coefficient, which reduces the wind load.
3. Section
The steel tube section is centrally symmetrical and isotropic: its materials are uniform in all orientations, ensuring it has a great bending stiffness. The steel tube, as the tension member of transmission substation, will not demonstrate its strength when the sectional area is the same as that of the steel angle. The bending area of the transmission substation features a steel tube with a small cross section area and a large gyration radius, which performance all material mechanical properties, and meets requirements for rigidity and stability. Tubular steel towers feature an exceptional stability, especially for large load towers with geometric dimension structures and long steel tube members.
