Abstract: The present Study interacts with the investigation of static and dynamic analysis of Electric tower structure. The analysis and modeling of tower is executed the use of FE based ANSYS software program. The model is created in Solidwork and then imported to ANSYS workbench. The loads acting at the tower considered are dead load, live load and dynamic masses (Seismic and wind). The current tower has height of 40m and X type bracing used in designing of tower structure. Static and dynamic analysis is executed in element using FE based ANSYS software program. Static, modal, reaction spectrum and wind analysis is executed. Wind region taken into consideration is region III. The wind strain relies upon at the gust reaction factor, which increases with height. The conduct of current tower is analyzed for one-of-a-kind analysis. The most deformation, combined stresses, natural frequencies and direct pressure are acquired and plotted graphically.

Keywords: Electric tower, FEM, ANSYS, Wind, static analysis, modal analysis.

I. INTRODUCTION

In every country, the requirement of electricity consumption has endured to growth, the rate of demand being greater in the developing nations. The Transmission towers are important for the reason of imparting power to various regions of the nation. This has brought about the increase in the constructing of strength stations and consequent growth in strength transmission traces from the generating stations to the distinct corners in which it’s needed. Transmission line need to be stable and punctiliously designed so they do not fail at some point of natural disaster. It should also conform to the country wide and international general. In the planning and layout of a transmission line, a number of requirements ought to be met from each structural and electrical point of view.From the electric factor of view, the most vital requirement is insulation and secure clearances of the electricity carrying conductors from the floor.
