Design and development of 123kV 13L Cross-arm with bracing structures for application in transmission towers

In this study, experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted of the mechanical behavior of existing full-scale wooden 123 KV 13L cross-arms used in transmission towers. Two cases have been considered to be analyzed and tested accordingly. In the case of normal condition, standard...
