ABSTRACT
ASCE/SEI 7-10 - Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
introduced wind maps and a new way to evaluate wind loading compared to its
predecessors (e.g. ASCE/SEI 7-05, ASCE/SEI 7-02, etc.). The changes will present
challenges to current codes and manuals which utilize the previous maps and
methodologies, specifically the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) and ASCE
Manual No. 74.
The purpose of this paper will be to show a comparison of the extreme wind loading
and combined ice and wind for ASCE 7-10 to the ASCE 7-05 values as they apply to
Transmission Lines. To begin that discussion, the author will look back on work
previously done by others. The intention of this paper is to begin a public discussion
of possible directions the NESC and ASCE Manual No. 74 should consider.
1 INTRODUCTION
The ASCE-7 committee made the decision that it was better to assume a higher wind
speed (longer return period) in their loads and reduce the load factor from 1.6 to 1.0
in the latest revision of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
(ASCE 7-10). NESC adopted the ASCE 7-05 maps except set all load factors at 1.0.
As a result, the NESC loading requirements were below those in ASCE 7-05. If
ASCE Manual No. 74 and the NESC decide to adopt the wind maps with the higher
return period in their next revisions the wind pressures will increase by a ratio
governed by the velocities squared for both structures and wires. This will certainly
have an impact on the Extreme Wind load case. Not only did the Extreme Wind
maps change, but the Extreme Ice with Concurrent Wind maps changed as well. This
change will also have an impact on the Extreme Ice with Concurrent Wind case.
The NESC and ASCE Manual No. 74 have a few courses of action:
• Use a factor to reduce the wind speed on ASCE 7-10 maps
o How does an engineer justify the validity of using a factor to reduce or
modify the wind pressures to their previous values?
• Adopt the new maps with increased wind speed and ice thicknesses.
o Does experience (failures) justify an increase in design loads?
• Reference the 50-year occurrence wind map in the appendix.
o Can NESC justify using the 50-year occurrence ASCE maps?

The following examples will use structures and span configurations that will be
included in the appendix. All hand calculations were performed using Microsoft
Excel and all structural analysis calculations were performed using Powerline
Systems’ PLS-CADD/POLE software.
2 EXTREME WIND LOADING REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Converting ASCE 7-05 to ASCE 7-10 Extreme Wind Speeds
The values in the table below were tabulated using the Applied Technology Council’s
“Wind Speed by Location” tool. This tool is used by entering the location of the
building site (latitude-longitude) or manually clicking the location of the building site
on the map. The results that are provided include the ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10
wind speeds.

The ratio column in the table above shows:

Where:
= 7 − 10
= 7 − 05
This ratio serves as a conversion between the ASCE Standards because the velocities
of the wind are the only change in the wind speed pressure equation. The largest ratio
from the tabulated values is 1.675 which is from Eureka, CA and Portland, OR. The
ratio from Madison, WI is 1.633. All three areas will be examined because each area
represents an NESC Loading District (Light, Medium, and Heavy respectively).

Wind Loads do govern when compared to the NESC District Loads.

Table 4 above for the 90° dead-end case shows even with the increased wind speed
on a dead-end type structure the NESC district loads (Heavy, Medium, and Light)
will still govern the design of the pole. This is true for other angles in the dead-end
case. It is important to note that large angle and dead-end structures are typically the
most expensive structures on a transmission line and would not be affected if the
ASCE 7-10 maps were adopted by ASCE Manual No. 74 and the NESC.
2.4 Turning the 700-year Mean Recurrence Interval (MRI) map into a 50-year
MRI map
Turning the 700-year MRI map values into lower MRI values is necessary since
Transmission Lines are traditionally designed for a 50 year life. An equation similar
to C26.5-2 in the ASCE 7-10 commentary can be derived from known values. Take
for example the Midwestern United States in Table 5 below:

Figure 2 Graph of Return Period vs. Velocity Ratio
The equation below can be used to determine the velocity of wind based on a desired
return period. In the case of Transmission Line Design, 50 years is often the desired
value.
= × (0.484 + 0.0763 ( ))
It should be noted that a 50-year MRI map is published in the ASCE 7-10 standard
however it is not exactly the same as the 50-year MRI map from ASCE 7-05 (the
ASCE 7-10 50-year MRI map is intended to be used for serviceability analysis). The
reason for the difference is that the ASCE 7-05 maps were actually a 700-year MRI
map divided by √1.6 (1.6 was the wind load factor). The commentary of ASCE 7-10
states “The task committee (Wind Load Subcommittee) reasoned that the annual
probability of exceeding the strength design wind load in the hurricane and non-
hurricane regions of the United States should be the same” (p. 509).
In table C6-7 (p. 318) of ASCE 7-05 there is a footnote that states in reference to
hurricane velocities, “For the MRI = 50 as shown, the actual return period, as
represented by the design wind speed map in Fig. 6-1, varies from 50 to
approximately 90 years.” The result was that the ASCE 7-05 maps resulted in a true
50-year event for non-hurricane regions, but in hurricane regions the event was
slightly larger than a 50-year event. This means that current transmission line designs
involving extreme wind events are not designed based on a consistent recurrence
ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION AND SUBSTATION STRUCTURES 2012 © ASCE 2013 433
interval because the ASCE 74 and the NESC reference the ASCE 7-05 maps without
the load factor.
This adds to the complexity of the decision for the ASCE 74 and the NESC
committees. If ASCE 74 and the NESC want to continue using the same variable
recurrence interval then they will need to continue using the ASCE 7-05 maps,
however trying to justify this approach may not agree with good engineering practice.
The author believes the most logical choice is to specify a minimum recurrence
interval and use the appropriate map from ASCE 7-10. The MRI maps available in
ASCE 7-10 are 10, 25, 50, 100, 300, 700, and 1700. Depending on which map is
chosen to be referenced the committees could choose to include a formula based on
that map to adjust the wind speed to a desired recurrence interval.
2.5 Conclusion of Extreme Wind
It is at this point that the author would like to propose a change (in bold) to the wind
pressure formula so that the ASCE 7-10 maps could be adopted into ASCE Manual
No. 74 and eventually the NESC.

By introducing the VRI term the new ASCE 7-10 maps will be able to be used by
ASCE Manual No. 74 and the NESC. With these changes, the NESC for example
would be able to dictate what minimum recurrence interval Transmission Lines
should be designed to. Currently a minimum of 50 years for most of the United
States is the recurrence interval in the NESC.
If the ASCE 7-10 700-year MRI maps are adopted as is then the increased wind loads
would govern the design of the tangent structures. It is possible that ASCE Manual
No. 74 could adopt the ASCE 7-10 maps and methodology with modifications after
benchmarking across the United States. The NESC would then be encouraged to
follow as their maps are traditionally adopted from ASCE 7. By using the modified

In table 6 above, the calculations show that the 2010 Extreme Ice and Wind ground-
line reactions increased from the 2005 Extreme Ice and Wind in Wisconsin and
Montana, but the NESC District Loads still continue to govern the design. However,
one area of interest is the Lake Superior region where the loads actually decreased
along some parts of the lake. There was no change in ground-line moment for the
region in Northern Missouri.

Table 7 above for the 90° dead-end case shows that even with the increased ice and
wind speed on a dead-end type structure the district loads will still govern the design
of the pole except in Missouri for small conductor sizes.
3.3 Conclusion of Extreme Ice and Concurrent Wind
The analysis for Extreme Ice and Concurrent Wind shows that even though the
loadings for some cases have increased, the NESC District loads still govern (a few
special areas will still dictate the design but there was no increase in ice and wind
loads in those areas). ASCE Manual No. 74 and the NESC can adopt the Extreme Ice
and Concurrent Wind loading maps without a drastic change to current design
practice. The temperature maps from ASCE 7-10 do not necessarily need to be
ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION AND SUBSTATION STRUCTURES 2012 © ASCE 2013 437
adopted by ASCE Manual No. 74 and the NESC because the calculations show the
differences to be negligible – Less than 1.5% increase in the analysis for Missouri.
4 CONCLUSIONS
Currently, there is a lot of dialogue in the construction industry to create
infrastructure that is more sustainable and exhibits a longer life. Transmission lines
are no exception and are just as important as a road or a building is to our everyday
lives. As mentioned in this paper, the NESC (2007 and 2012) currently requires a 50
year return period (minimum) on extreme events in most areas of the United States.
The author is aware of several transmission lines that have been in service for well
over 50 years, so maybe it is time to examine increasing the return period on extreme
events if we intend to keep these lines in service for longer periods.
The author believes that overall the ASCE 7-10 maps could be adopted by ASCE
Manual No. 74 and eventually the NESC if modifications are implemented to use a
more applicable return period for transmission line design. In some areas the
loadings have increased and structures may need to be designed to be more robust.
Since the data shows that the loading conditions for different areas of the United
States have changed, or we have refined our methods, then we as engineers should
not be hesitant to adjust either. In the end, ensuring our electric grid is more
structurally reliable based on new data as it becomes available is a step in the right
direction.
