Standard for Overhead Transmission Lines

(OP)
Guys,

What standards are you aware of for eastern Canada and NE USA regarding structural design of electrical power lines and their support structures?

I'm looking for ice and wind loadings on wires and towers, load factors and other info for LRFD, (or limit states design in Canada).

Thanks in advance.

RE: Standard for Overhead Transmission Lines

Im not sure what standard to follow but there is program called SAG10 that does transmission lines. You could always shoot them an email and ask...I know it does ice loads and wind loads.  Theyve got a free demo...
