Abstract
In this study 24 power transmission towers were selected by considering various variables such as power transmission capacity, height and structural type to evaluate their seismic performance using the standard design response spectrum recently announced by the government. In addition, the stresses and sectional forces generated by the current design wind loads and revised seismic ones were compared to review the effects on the design of power transmission towers when the government-required seismic standards were raised. The results of seismic performance evaluation for the target power transmission towers showed that they had seismic capacity of 0.31~0.91g, and that they met the level of the earthquake-resistant special grade, which is the 2,400-year earthquake return periods and secured seismic safety. Further, the sectional forces caused by earthquakes in the towers were 33~82.5% of the ones due to wind loads, and it was also confirmed that the design wind loads were more dominant than design earthquake ones under the elevated seismic standards.
본 연구에서는 최근 정부에서 제시한 표준설계 응답스펙트럼을 이용하여 송전용량, 높이 및 구조타입 등 다양한 변수를 고려한 송전철탑 24기를 선정하여 내진성능평가를 수행하였다. 또한, 정부에서 요구한 내진기준 상향 시 철탑의 설계에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여, 현 설계 풍하중 및 개정 지진하중에 의해 발생되는 응력 및 단면력의 크기를 비교해 보았다. 내진성능평가 결과 대상 철탑들은 0.31~0.91g의 내진성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타나, 2,400년 재현주기의 내진특등급 수준을 만족하였으며 내진안전성을 확보하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 철탑의 지진에 의한 단면력은 풍하중에 의한 값의 33~82.5%로 나타나, 상향된 내진기준에서도 설계 풍하중이 지진하중보다 지배적임을 확인하였다.
