Abstract:With the construction of a large number of transmission line projects, the proportion of mining-affected areas along the line is increasing day by day. Under the influence of mining activities, the ground surface at the foundation of transmission tower may move and deform, resulting in foundation tilt, tower deformation and other hazards. The hollow protective slab foundation has been successfully applied in miningaffected areas of UHVDC transmission lines, and has achieved good results and engineering application experiences. However, it has a poor adaptability to terrain, huge excavation volume and[JP] serious soil and water loss. Combined with the design experiences of steel members and long and short legs, a connection mode is proposed to move the rigid partition upward and set a new type of adjustable steel pipe truss below the partition surface so as to replace the hollow protective plate foundation, which can effectively improve the towers′ ability to withstand surface deformation and to adapt to the terrain.
