Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures 2015 iii Preface The planning and preparation of the 2015 Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures Conference required an extraordinary amount of time, effort, and dedication by the members of the conference steering committee and the ASCE/SEI staff. The success of the conference is a direct reflection of the level of effort by this group of volunteers. The steering committee would also like to acknowledge the critical support of the sponsors and exhibitors who made this conference a success thru their exhibition displays, participation in the demonstration day and financial support. This conference takes place every three years and provides sessions on Structural Analysis, Special Design Considerations, Managing Aging Infrastructure, Substation Design, Foundations, and much more. On behalf of our dedicated volunteers and SEI staff, we would like to thank you for spending your valuable time attending the Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures Conference. It is our hope that you and your colleagues will benefit greatly from the information provided and make professional connections that last for years.
