TSE POLE is one of the applications of the TSE
Tower Structural Engineering family of
programs. The TSE POLE is a powerful and
comprehensive Microsoft Windows program
for the analysis and design of Transmission
tubular poles and multi-poles frames to a
range of international standards. The
program also designs the base plates and
anchorage bolts.
TSE POLE is the result of more than 30 years of
research and development based on our 3D
structural analysis technologies.

TSE POLE includes powerful and productive
features for generating any type of tubular
poles and multi-poles structures. Engineers
can now model faster than ever using the
advanced graphical functions. Standard
libraries also include materials and sections.

ADVANCED ANALYSIS
TSE POLE includes a wide range of
advanced analysis methods such as linear,
non-linear, P-Delta, buckling, natural
frequencies, seismic and dynamic analysis.
Wind and ice loads can be computed
automatically in accordance with many
international standards. The load generator
wizard allows the user to easily create basic
loads
STRUCTURAL MODELING, ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF STEEL LATTICED TOWERS AND SUBSTATIONS

POWERFUL RESULTS
AND DIAGRAMS
TSE POLE provides you with rich inquiry tools
to review the results on screen and an
exhaustive set of results and diagrams. It
displays compression curves, deflection,
axial forces, torsion, bending moments and
stress diagrams. Also, it displays results
numerically by means of tables.
Customizable and easy to create reports
generation is provided in several formats.
MEMBERS DESIGN
Member capacities may be checked
against the international design standards
ASCE Manual No. 72 and ASCE/SEI 48-11.
Extensive types of checks performed by the
program include slenderness, buckling,
anchor rod strength, tensile and
compression strengths, shear, bending and
combined loads. TSE POLE is a powerful
solution to do advanced design of tubular
poles.

KEY FEATURES KEY FEATURES
DESIGN FEATURES
Available design provisions include:
o ASCE Manual No. 72
o ASCE/SEI 48-11
Table to define the slenderness ratios of
the members that will be considered in
the design of the structure. The
slenderness ratios should be specified
as an equivalent slenderness for
members with a variable inertia.
Calculates the members resistance for
bending, compression, tension, shear
and combined loads.
Calculates the internal stresses for the
tubes, anchorage bolts and base
plates. Design the base plate and
bolts.
