Abstract:
In view of the settlement problem of transmission tower foundation, the vibration characteristics of transmission towers under wind force are measured experimentally. In this paper, the 110 kV cat head transmission tower of Xi'an Polytechnic University is measured and analyzed. Firstly, the acceleration sensor and meteorological sensor are installed on the tower to collect the vibration response and environment parameters of the tower in real time. Then, an experiment platform is built to simulate the tower settlement, and the vibration response of the tower after settlement is measured in time. Finally, the low-order modal frequencies of the transmission tower before and after settlement under wind force load are extracted by stochastic subspace identification (SSI), and the relationship between modal frequencies of different modes is analyzed via temperature correction. By comparison and analysis, it is obvious that the X-direction modal frequencies before and after settlement under natural wind load are changed, and the change rate increases with the increase of settlement displacement, which can be used as effective evidence for judging the settlement of transmission tower foundation.
