ASCE 48-19 PDF Download

ASCE 48-19 is a standard that provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for the design, detailing, fabrication, testing, assembly, and erection of steel tubular structures used as electrical transmission poles. It is developed by the Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures Standards Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

This standard specifically focuses on cold-formed, single- and multipole tubular steel structures that support overhead transmission lines. It covers both guyed and self-supporting structures and allows for various foundation types, such as concrete caissons, steel piling, and direct embedment.

ASCE/SEI 48-19, which supersedes the previous edition ASCE/SEI 48-11, includes a detailed commentary and appendixes that provide additional explanatory and supplementary information.

This standard is intended to serve as a primary reference for structural engineers, construction managers, and other professionals involved in designing and constructing electrical transmission lines. It is an essential resource for the electric power transmission industry.
