Abstract
Electrical power is an inseparable part of human life. Therefore, design and analysis of electrical transmission towers have always been important for scientists. In common design methods due to the lightness of these structures only the wind load is considered and earthquake effects are neglected. On the other hand, regarding regulation No.2800 a lot of areas of Iran are located in earthquake zones. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of these structures against earthquakes. In this research, regarding conducted studies, we decided to use incremental dynamic analysis method (IDA) in order to evaluate seismic performance of the tower. In sake of thoroughness of the...
