Steel Lattice transmission tower design

[ushakrishna]

Hi, I am a structural engineer looking to learn about steel lattice transmission tower design. If you know any books or training courses online or material or any website, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Get ASCE 10 and go to PLS-CADD's web site at

to see some programs that do the analysis. They have about 90% market share in the industry. The University of Wisconsin has some courses.

It is a very specialized area of engineering and anyone that uses single angles in compression has to be a little crazy. The strength to weight ratio for lattice towers is the highest possible.

I think this one will also help as you model your structure.
