Sparrows Point (MD) (Images of America)Sparrows Point (MD) (Images of America)

Sparrows Point was on the map nearly a century before the city of Baltimore was laid out and just 20 years after the colony of Maryland was established. After receiving a land grant from Lord Baltimore in 1652, Thomas Sparrow named the area Sparrow’s Nest; although he never lived here and his heirs eventually disposed of the 600 acres, his name stuck. In 1886, the Pennsylvania Steel Company purchased 385 acres from Capt. and Mrs. William Fitzell, and work began immediately on a new plant, a shipyard, and a company town. “Furnace A” was fired up in October 1889. That same year, passenger rail service to and from Baltimore commenced. Meanwhile, laborers who chose to reside in the company town rented houses on streets with letters and numbers for names in locations designated by their job and race. By 1916, Bethlehem Steel had acquired Sparrows Point. Over time, “the Point” would become the world’s largest steel mill, supported by a prosperous, selfsufficient town.


Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures, ASCE/SEI 48-05Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures, ASCE/SEI 48-05

ASCE/SEI 48-05, Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures specifies requirements for the design, testing, assembly, and erection of cold-formed tubular members and connections for steel electrical transmission pole structures. Topics discussed in this standard include • loading, geometry, and analysis • design of members • design of connections • detailing and fabrication • testing • structural members and connections used in foundations • quality assurance/quality control • and assembly and erection. Also included are a supplementary commentary section and appendices. The primary resource document for the development of this standard is ASCE Manual 72.


Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures (Asce Standard)Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures (Asce Standard)

This updated standard, "Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures (ASCE 10-97)", provides requirements for the design of guyed and self-supporting latticed steel electrical transmission structures. They are applicable for hot-rolled and cold-formed steel shapes. Analysis techniques are outlined for the geometrical configurations presently in use. Procedures for the design of individual members reflect extensive experience and test data on steels with yield points up to 65 ksi. Connection design procedures allow the engineer to match connection capability to the most suitable end and edge distances for detailing. If full scale structure testing is required procedures are outlined to assist in obtaining critical information. Design procedures cover structural steel members and connections used in foundations. The commentary provides supporting background data.
