Electric pylon is used to transmit and distribute electric energy from it source of production, the generating station, to the load centers for further transmission and distribution. Transmission towers are constructed using angle section members which are eccentrically connected .It is strong enough to withstand a number of forces namely; its own weight, the pull of conductors wires at the top of the tower, the effect of seismic on the conductors and earth wires and the effect of seismic on the tower itself. In practice, proper planning and preparation must be adhered to when working near to or on the structure. The structure must also be adequately designed to not only support the weight of the wires and structure but also to safely transfers forces and moments from the structure to its foundation. The experience of past earthquakes shows that, although damages of the Electrical network installation are very extensive in length and area, they are infrequent. But the significance of these installations makes their protection and stability more important. In my study I increase the height of tower with respect to base width and top width for more safety. I select four different zone of earthquake in India as per Is code 1893-2002. Considering the load combination acting on the tower (DL, LL, WL, EL). Calculate maximum deflection, maximum support reaction, maximum support moment, axial stress and bending stress for all different height towers manually and by using software for different zone.
