Research on the Optimal Layout of High-strength Steel in the Transmission Tower

AbstractIn order to research on the arrangement way of high-strength steel in ultrahigh voltage transmission towers, the integrated structure and material multi-objective optimization model of ultrahigh voltage transmission towers was established, and the optimization model is solved by using fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). Sectional areas and materials of each bar were regarded as the design variables, the structural min-cost was considered as the objective of the economic optimization, and the min-displacement of the control point was regarded as the objective of structural optimization. Based on the software MATLAB, relevant optimization program was programmed to solve the optimization model. The results show, the optimal results can satisfy the structural requirements and reduce the cost of projects, making the arrangement way of high-strength steel way in ultrahigh voltage transmission towers more reasonable and more economical
