This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines, conductors, insulators, hardware and component assembly. In most developing countries, the term “transmission structures” usually means lattice steel towers. The term actually includes a vast range of structural systems and configurations of various materials such as wood, steel, concrete and composites. This book discusses those systems along with associated topics such as structure functions and configurations, load cases for design, analysis techniques, structure and foundation modeling, design deliverables and latest advances in the field. In the foundations section, theories related to direct...

Anchors are primarily used in the construction of foundations of earth-supported and earth-retaining structures. The fundamental reason for using earth anchors in construction is to transmit the outwardly directed load to the soil at a greater depth and/or farther away from the structure. Although earth anchors have been used in practice for several hundred years, proper theoretical developments for purposes of modern engineering designs have taken place only during the past 40 to 45 years. This book summarizes most theoretical and experimental works directed toward the development of proper relationships for ultimate and allowable holding capacity of earth anchors. J. Ross Publishing offers a supplemental download — A customizable PowerPoint instructional slide presentation prepared by the authors that complements the material covered in the book, chapter-by-chapter.
È un fatto sorprendente quanto la Storia della Tecnologia sia trascurata nel nostro paese, benché tutti dipendiamo sempre di più da quest’ultima. Eppure già nel quinto secolo prima dell’era attuale (come qualcuno preferisce dire oggi, per rispetto delle diverse culture) Confucio ammoniva “Studia il passato se vuoi prevedere il futuro”, un pensiero condiviso da Polibio, che probabilmente non sapeva nulla di Confucio, ma nel secondo secolo dell’era attuale riteneva che “... per gli uomini non esiste un più sicuro mezzo di farsi migliori di quanto non lo sia la coscienza del passato”. Edmund Burke forse si ispirò a loro quando, agli albori della rivoluzione industriale, ammo...
Although many textbooks deal with a broad range of topics in the power system area of electrical engineering, few are written specifically for an in-depth study of modern electric power transmission. Drawing from the author’s 31 years of teaching and power industry experience, in the U.S. and abroad, Electrical Power Transmission System Engineering: Analysis and Design, Second Edition provides a wide-ranging exploration of modern power transmission engineering. This self-contained text includes ample numerical examples and problems, and makes a special effort to familiarize readers with vocabulary and symbols used in the industry. Provides essential impedance tables and templates for placi...
Line design is a very specialized field involving spatial constraints, high performance conductors, lightning protection, cable vibrations, digital terrain surveying, Fiber optic communication wires along with some exciting software developments over the past two decades. In the West, billions of dollars are being invested on building new lines and the so-called “Smart Grid”. This book will cover electrical and mechanical characteristics associated with high-voltage transmission lines, selection of conductors, line layout, thermal ratings, plan and profile drawing among other things. Structures are only one component of a transmission line; as such, this book will form a companion volume...
The book summarises the outcom of a priority research programme: 'Analysis, Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows'. The results of 24 individual research projects are presented. The main objective of the research programme was to provide a better understanding of the physical basis for multiphase gas-liquid flows as they are found in numerous chemical and biochemical reactors. The research comprises steady and unsteady multiphase flows in three frequently found reactor configurations, namely bubble columns without interiors, airlift loop reactors, and aerated stirred vessels. For this purpose new and improved measurement techniques were developed. From the resulting knowledge and data, new and refined models for describing the underlying physical processes were developed, which were used for the establishment and improvement of analytic as well as numerical methods for predicting multiphase reactors. Thereby, the development, lay-out and scale-up of such processes should be possible on a more reliable basis.
