Transmission line tower is one of the most significant structures so it is necessary to perform dynamic
analysis by considering both structural and electrical requirements for a safe and economical design. The economy of
transmission tower can be achieved by using different configurations, type of bracing etc. In this present study, the
analysis and design of a typical type of transmission line tower carrying 400kV double circuit towers having four legged
tower under dynamic load like wind load, earthquake load and snow load for different configuration is done by
STAAD.PRO. The type of transmission tower considered is suspension tower having 2 deviation located on a plain
landscape with minimum or relatively no obstacles. The critical load combination for which maximum deflection of
member occurs is one broken wire condition and anti-cascading condition. The effect of wind load is greater than
earthquake load and effect of snow on the tower is negligible
