A composite crossarm fixed on a pole body of a transmission pole is disclosed. The composite crossarm includes: a core rod, an insulating layer and a load-bearing member. The insulating layer and the load-bearing member cover and are fixed to an outer peripheral surface of the core rod. The load-bearing member is positioned in a middle region of the core rod connected to the pole body, and the insulating layer is positioned in regions of the core rod other than the middle region. A transmission pole using the above composite crossarm is also disclosed. In the above manner, the load-bearing member is arranged at a position where the core rod is connected to the pole body in advance. On one hand, the core rod is able to be connected to the pole body without providing with a hole. On the other hand, the load caused by the fixed connection is applied on the load-bearing member directly, with no damage to the insulating layer. Both the load-bearing member and the insulating layer cover and are fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the core rod, so that the core rod is protected from external corrosion, to ensure the mechanical properties of the composite crossarm.

A tower section is for a truss tower. The tower section has three or more elongated corner beams arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and a plurality of transverse beams connected perpendicular to adjacent corner beams, thereby forming respective three or more sides. The transverse beams are distributed along the sides so that the transverse beams of one of the side are arranged offset to the transverse beams of the other sides.

A dynamics management system for a structure includes a line whose first end is coupled to a first location within a structure. A tension resistance device is coupled to a second location within the structure. The tension resistance device generates a first force when a tension force is applied thereto and generates a lesser second force when the tension force is not applied thereto. The second end of the line is coupled to the tension resistance device wherein the first force is applied to the line when it is in tension and the second force is applied to the line when it is not in tension. The line traverses at least one Z-shaped path within and in a plane of the structure. The line is coupled to the structure at each inflection point of the Z-shaped path(s) for supporting movement of the line there along.

This invention uses a hybrid of latticed steel and tapered tubular steel technologies. Namely, latticed steel and tapered tubular steel pole technology, to provide a more economical structural support with the advantages of each. It utilizes latticed steel hot-rolled angles for bracing elements and cold formed steel plate for main leg elements. The tapered geometry of the leg elements provides a more optimum utilization of material by the use of a non-prismatic (tapered) element profile. This element consists of a bent plate shape profile that varies in structural section modulus vertically along the height of the structure which optimizes the use of steel material to resist the applied structural loads. The arms include an invention that allows for post-tensioning and thereby provides deflection control and/or the ability to modify the natural frequencies of vibration to mitigate vortex induced vibrations caused by wind. The main support elements in the arms are developed using plates formed into angle shapes that provide inherent gusset plate material to accommodate the bracing bolted connections without the need for separate gusset plates. The direct embedded portion of the structural design allows for transverse passive soil pressures to be collected by trapezoidal plates and resisted by the grillage superstructure. A transition section is subpart of the embedded structure portion and accommodates multiple structure heights as a standard foundation system.

A steel cap for structurally connecting together a new foundation and an existing tower is disclosed. The new foundation includes at least one foundation element positioned in the ground. The existing tower includes an existing foundation and a tower structure extending from and supported by the existing foundation. The steel cap comprises (a) a first element for connecting the cap to the new foundation element or foundation elements and (b) a second element for connecting the cap to the existing tower and thereby, in use, connecting together the new foundation and the existing tower.
