<p>In this paper, firstly, the fatigue damage of transmission towers is analyzed from the fatigue load and fatigue damage, and the S-N curve of transmission towers is used to obtain the fatigue damage accumulation.

Finally, an example analysis was carried out using a transmission tower in the GZ area, and its fatigue life was calculated for it.
