Wind loading on a transmission tower structure is jointly influenced by the wind field, structural parameters, and the geo-spatial configuration of the transmission line. Considering the multi-parametric effect, this paper aims at developing a limit capacity model for transmission towers under strong winds. To this end, the limit capacity of the tower is expressed via two equivalent means: one is the limit wind speed as a function of the wind angle of attack and the span of transmission line; the other is a limit capacity surface with three fundamental wind load components as the principal axes. An adaptive kriging surrogate modeling is constructed to approximate the function/surface with structural uncertainties considered. The performance of the surrogate model is improved by adding support points and then evaluated by the overall accuracy validation and local error check. A numerical example demonstrating the feasibility of the surrogate modeling for the limit capacity of the transmission tower under winds is presented. Finally, a fragility assessment concerning a practical transmission line and towers subjected to typhoons is accomplished using the established limit capacity model of the tower.
