Description

[0002] As an important support in the power transmission line, the structural strength and mechanical properties of the power transmission tower are crucial to the safe operation of the power transmission line. Compared with the angle steel tower of the traditional power transmission line, the circular steel pipe tower is generally used in the large-span ultra-high voltage power transmission line because it has the advantages of simple structure, large stiffness, small wind pressure, large section rotation radius, small steel consumption, clear force transmission, good stability and ductility, etc. In the steel pipe structure, the node is located at the intersection of the main material, auxiliary material and inclined material of the steel pipe tower, and is the force transmission hub of the steel pipe tower structure. The damage of the node often leads to the failure of several connected members, thereby causing the destruction of the whole structure, interrupting the power transmission line and affecting the social power supply.

[0003] However, with the encounter of various complex terrains in the construction process of the power transmission tower, the height and the bearing load of the power transmission tower are becoming larger and more complex, and it is often difficult to meet the bearing design requirements by setting the conventional intersecting node.

[0004] In order to improve the bearing capacity and fatigue life of the node, the stiffening rib and the node plate outside the intersecting node are often used to strengthen the node. This measure is convenient and economical, but the ultimate bearing capacity outside the intersecting node is relatively weak, and the effect of improving the bearing capacity is limited. Especially under the construction and design requirements of the high-voltage power transmission tower, the ultimate bearing capacity of the node is still insufficient to meet the requirements.
