Abstract

The bulk electricity that powers our society flows along high voltage transmission lines that are conducting cables hung with insulators from a series of transmission towers. High winds can damage these structures and the loss of the transmission line sometimes causes a blackout. When a tower structurally fails, the adjacent towers have unbalanced load, and are more likely to fail, so there is a cascading effect by which tower failures can lead to further tower failures.
