FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1/Sec 1) (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Structural Engineering and Structural Sections Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Transmission towers are tall structures, usually steel lattice towers, used to support overhead power lines.
Transmission line towers are key infrastructural components. The standards under IS 802 series have been
formulated with a view to establish uniform practices for design, fabrication, inspection and testing of overhead
transmission line towers.
This standard (Part 1/Sec 1) is a part of a series of standards thus formulated and covers requirements in regard
to material, loads and design strengths apart from other relevant design provisions. The other parts in the series
are:
Part 2 Fabrication, galvanizing, inspection and packing
Part 3 Testing
Part 4 Requirements for latticed switchyard structures (under formulation)
Part 5 Requirements for tall river crossing towers (under formulation)
This standard IS 802 (Part 1) was first published in 1967 and subsequently revised in 1973, 1977 and 1995. The
standard in its third revision was split in two sections, namely; Section 1 Materials and loads, and Section 2
Permissible stresses.
Some of the major modifications made in this standard (Part 1/Sec 1) in this revision are:
a) Provision for use of structural steel tubes has been included.
b) Material requirements for bolts and nuts have been modified.
c) Light angle towers for use in straight runs with line deviation >5° but <15° and medium angle towers
(15° to 30°) have been included.
d) Drag co-efficient for evaluating wind load on towers have been stipulated for different sections (such as
angles and circular sections).
e) Load combination for sag tension of conductor and ground wire / optical groundwire (OPGW) and for
climate loads have been modified.
f) Narrow front wind load has been identified as an applicable load for suspension towers.
g) Transverse load conditions have been modified.
h) Vertical erection loads in safety requirement have been modified.
j) Wind load consideration in longitudinal load calculation for security requirement has been redefined.
As transmission line towers are comparatively light structures and also that the maximum wind pressure is the
chief criterion for the design, the concurrence of earthquake and maximum wind pressure is unlikely to take
place. However in earthquake prone areas, the design of towers/foundations shall be checked for earthquake
forces corresponding to nil wind and minimum temperature in accordance with IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002 ‘Criteria
for earthquake resistant design of structures: Part 1 General provisions and buildings (fifth revision)’.
Ice loadings on towers and conductors/ground wire/OPGWs for lines located in the mountainous regions of the
country subjected to snow fall, may be taken into account on the basis of available meteorological data both for
ice with wind and without wind.
While formulating the provisions of this Code, it has been assumed that structural connections are through bolts
only.

While formulating this Code, practices prevailing in the country in this field have been kept in view. Assistance
has been derived from the following publications:
a) Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures, ASCE-10-97
b) IEC 60050-826 International Electrotechnical Vocabulary - Part 826: Electrical installations
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall he rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Review of Indian Standards
Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed
periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are
needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users of Indian Standards
should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by referring to the latest issue of
