Abstract
There were two transmission tower collapses due to Typhoon 'Maemi' in 2003. The reason that a collapse was happened was excessive wind load. One was buckled in the leg part and the other was buckled in the middle bracing part. To investigate a steel transmission tower failure mechanism, 2nd order nonlinear analysis should be performed. Considering the effect of initial imperfection and theresidual stress of angle section during nonlinear analysis, this study can estimate the ultimate strength and the ultimate behavior of the transmission tower.
