This paper will present a historical summary of full-scale latticed steel tower and structural assembly tests. Since the first use of latticed transmission tower designs it has been common industry practice to perform full-scale latticed steel tower tests as a verification of the design capacity and connection detailing. There have been hundreds of tests with a wealth of information collected. A number of significant technical papers have been written addressing these tests. Case studies of four tower tests will be presented. These case studies will present the rationale for the continued need of full-scale tower testing for the purpose of verifying the adequacy and calibration of new tower designs. The paper will provide practical advice for conducting future full-scale tests. |
