Stork’s Nest - Additional Load on the Supporting Structure of the Low Voltage Power Line

Abstract

The article presents loading issues of the LV power line supporting structure, with white stork’s nest resting on top of the construction. Technical aspects are presented, which are related to the additional load on the pole resulting from the wind pressure acting on the stork’s nest and the nest mass itself. At present, the data on stork’s nest mass is available and we may develop a model load based on this data.
