Abstract
The paper presents the results of a research project
undertaken by the Institute of Structural Analysis and
Aseismic Research of the National Technical University
of Athens, financed by the Public Power Corporation
(PPC) of Greece. Namely a large protection grid for the
Sfikia Hydro-Electric Power Station has been designed.
The behaviour of the protection cable grid, as well as its
suspension and support systems have been considered
under self weight, temperature effects, dynamic wind
loading and hydrodynamic pressures. Analysis has beer]
performed taking into account large deformation theory
and second order effects. A specific software has been
developed. Optimization of elements (type, size, etc.),
ensuring safety through an economic solution has been
performed on the basis of the analysis results.
