unbalanced tension in conductor, torsional load due to unbalanced vertical and
horizontal forces, erection 'loads, short circuit forces including 'Snap' In the
2 case of bundled conductors, forces due to differential settlement and any other
loading condition which can occur during the design life ofthe structure.

Wind & Seismic forces shall not be.considered simultaneously in any load
4 combination.
 The design of structure shall be based on the condition where stringing is done
only on one side i.e. aHthe three conductors broken on the other side. A factor
of safety of 2.0 under normal and broken' wire condition and 1;5 under
5 combined short circuit and broken wire conditions shall be adopted for design.
Short circuit forces and wind forces shall not be considered simultaneously.

Minimum distance from hole center to edge to adjacent hole shall be minimum
1.5 X bolt diameter. Minimum distance between center to center of holes shall
6 be 2.5 x bolt diameter.

7 The minimum bolt diameter shall be 16 mm.

Three-dimensional analysis shall be carried out for structures like towers and'
girders while two­dimensional analysis may be adopted for equipment support
structures; using standard software package like STAADPro. Any non-
8 standardsoftware used shan be validated with manual calculations and shall
beused only with the approval of Owner .

Vertical load of half the span of conductors/ string and the earth wires on
either side of the beam shall be taken into account for the purpose of design.
Weight of man with the tools. shall be considered as 150 kgs for the design of
9 structures.

10 The girders shall be connected with lattice columns by bolted joints.

Vertical load of half the span of conductors/string and the earth wires on either
side of the beam shall be taken into account for the purpose of design. Weight
11 of man with tools shall be considered as 150KGs for the design of structures.

Terminal / line take off girders shall be designed for a minimum conductor
tension of 1000Kg per sub conductor per phase for 66KV. The distance between
12 terminal girders and the dead end tower shall be taken as per standard.

The design of these terminal girders shall also be checked considering +/- 30
deg deviation of conductor in both vertical and horizontal planes. For other
13 girders the structural layout requirements shall be adopted in design.

14 The girders shall be connected with lattice columns be bolted joints.

be provided with safety guards.

Foundation bolts.for the towers and equipment supporting structures and

elsewhere shall be ".embedded in first stage concrete while the foundation is
20 cast. The Contractor shall ensure, the proper alignment of these bolts to match
the holes in the base plate,

Every bolt shall be provided with two flat and one spring washer under the nut
so that no part of the threaded portion of the bolt is within the thickness of the
21 parts bolted together. Locking nut shall be provided with each grouting bolt.
 22 All steel items, bolts, nuts and washers shall be hot dip galvanized.
The work shall be done as per approved fabrication drawings, which clearly
indicate various details of joints to be welded, type of weld, length and size of
weld, whether shop or site weld etc. Symbols for welding on erection and shop
drawings shall be according to IS 813. Efforts shall be made to reduce site
23 welding so as to avoid improper joints due to constructional difficulties.

All structural steel works and support shall be galvanized after fabrication.
24

Zinc required for galvanizing shall have to be arranged by the manufacturer.

25 Purity of zinc to be used shall be 99.95% as per IS 209.

F FOUNDATION BOLTS
Foundation bolts for the towers and equipment supporting structures and
elsewhere shall be embedded in first stage concrete while the foundation is
1 cast. The contractor shall ensure the proper alignment of these bolts to match
the holes in the base plate.

The contractor shall be responsible for the correct alignment and leveling of all
2 steel work on site to ensure that the towers/structures are plumb.

All foundation bolts shall be fully galvanized so as to achieve 0.610 kg. Per
3 Sq.m. of Zinc coating as per specifications.

All foundation bolts shall conform to IS 5624 but the material shall be MS
4 conforming to IS 2062.
Anchor bolts shall be designed to resist the applied tensile loads and shear.
5

Anchor bolts that resist tensile loads shall be designed with an anchor head or
6 plate to transfer the load through tension in the concrete.

Anchor bolts for all equipments viz. vertical vessels/tanks & structural steel
structures like columns of pipe-racks, sheds, trestles, portals shall have double
7 nuts.

Anchor bolts on horizontal vessels shall have 1 nut per anchor bolt at the fixed
end and 2 nuts per anchor bolt at the sliding end, 1 loose nut and 1 locknut.
