Zusammenfassung:A new type of transmission tower was built. The tower has a relatively slim body with single waren trusses and solid web brackets, for harmonizing it with the landscape of an urban area. There is no available data of wind load on such a bracket. A slim body and solid web brackets gave some fear about aerodynamic responses of the tower. A static force measurmeut and an areodynamic test were carried out. The test results gave a pressure force and a pressure moment on the brackets. No self excited oscillation was observed on the bracket model and the tower model.
