The document provides calculations for loading trees of different types of tower structures for a 132kV transmission line under normal and broken wire conditions. It includes calculations for the vertical, longitudinal and transverse loads on conductors and earthwires for river crossing, angle and road crossing tower structures. Forces are calculated based on parameters like span length, conductor and earthwire properties, insulator weights, wind pressures and tensions. Loading trees showing the distribution of these forces on different parts of the tower are presented for the various conditions analyzed.
