Prepared by the Design of Steel Transmission Towers Standards Committee
of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural
Engineering Institute of ASCE This standard provides requirements for
the design, fabrication, and testing of members and connections for
latticed steel electrical transmission structures. Covering guyed and
self-supporting structures, these requirements are applicable to
hot-rolled and cold-formed steel shapes. The standard specifies the
design criteria for structure componentsmembers, connections, and guysto
resist design-factored loads at stresses approaching yielding,
buckling, or fracture. This new edition, which replaces the previous
Standard ASCE 10-97, presents minor changes to the design requirements
and introduces new sections on redundant members, welded angles, anchor
bolts with base plates on leveling nuts, and post angle member splices.
Topics include: loading, geometry, and analysis; design of
members, including compression members, tension members, and beams;
design of connections, including fasteners, minimum distances, and
attachment holes; detailing and fabrication; full-scale
structure testing; structural members and connections used in
foundations; and quality assurance and quality control. A
detailed commentary contains explanatory and supplementary information
to assist users of the standard. In addition, one appendix offers 17
design examples, and a new appendix offers guidance for evaluating older
(legacy) electrical transmission towers. Standard ASCE/SEI 10-15 is a
primary reference for structural engineers designing latticed steel
electrical transmission structures, as well as for other engineers,
inspectors, and utility officials involved in the electric power
transmission industry.
