About its
function |
The function of
a structure in a transmission line is associated with the efforts to
which each structure must be submitted. |
Suspension |
Structures
subjected to efforts of vertical and horizontal transverse
components |
Anchoring |
Structures
subjected to vertical, horizontal transverse and longitudinal forces |
About its
resistance |
How the
structures transfer the sustained efforts to the materials and the
region they were applied |
Self-supporting |
The fittings
are capable to support all the efforts applied on the same |
Cable-stayed |
It uses cables
to connect the structure and the soil |
About its composition |
There are many ways to transmit power using structures of several materials |
Metal |
Usually made of carbon steel, normal or high strength profiled or tubular |
Concrete |
Due to the
material used, it must be made with the whole body, hindering its
transport and assembly |
Wood |
Despite being
made of easy extraction equipment and low cost, the wooden pole does
not have great mechanical strength |
