摘要：

Lattice towers are extensively built in Europe and worldwide to serve power transmission purposes. Their members mainly consist of single angle profiles, while built-up sections, such as star-battened ones, are usually preferred for the strengthening of individual members or in case of very high compression loads. Recent upwards developments of the power grid requests also lead to the need to use high strength steels (HSS) for the design and construction of higher and heavier loaded steel lattice transmission towers. Within the present paper, investigations conducted on the bearing capacity of a star-battened member made of two S460 L250×250×28 angles are presented, even if the conclusions may be extended to any angle size and steel grade. Firstly, a critical review of the current European normative documents (EN 50341, EN1993-1-3, prEN1993-3) is made and the buckling resistance of the above-mentioned member is evaluated. Secondly, the results of an experimental compression test performed on the studied member are presented; these results are complemented by a full non-linear finite element numerical simulation. All the obtained results are finally compared and discussed. © 2023 Ernst & Sohn GmbH.
