T1 - Overhead transmission line cables under wind gust loading - measurements and numerical simulations T2 - CWE 2014 - 6th International symposium on computational wind engineering N2 - Overhead transmission lines with conductor cables spanning over a few hundred meters are highly sensitive to the action of wind. Particularly wind acting on the cables signifies a major load on the suspension towers. In order to identify critical loading parameters and the load-response mechanism of those structures, measurements are carried out along a high voltage overhead transmission line capturing the acting wind field as well as the structural response of the cables. A finite element model of the structure is built and used to simulate the system's response. A method is presented which allows generating a complete wind field for all the model’s nodes incorporating measured wind velocities and estimated parameters of the acting wind. The full scale measurements of both action and reaction will be compared to the numerical results.
