The transmission towers served as crucial carriers in the process of power transmission. The combined angle transmission tower of dual-angle steel with cruciform section are relatively a novel type of angle tower, which is being more widely used in transmission lines. The studies on aerodynamic characteristics of combined angle tower in skewed wind are limited. In this paper, the wind tunnel tests are conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of the combined angle tower, and the high frequency force balance (HFFB) test is introduced to obtain the transverse and longitudinal forces on the tower using the direct force measurement (DFM) method. The drag coefficients and wind load-distribution factors of the combined angle tower are obtained from the wind tunnel tests, and the effects of interference and tower leg spacing on the wind loads of the tower legs are fully explored. It can be found that the aerodynamic coefficients and drag coefficients of the combined angle steel tower leg tend to decrease with the increase of interference members and it also decreases with the decrease of the tower leg spacing. The test wind load-distribution factors of the isolated leg are generally larger than those defined by seven typical codes (e.g., US, EU, Japanese, and Chinese codes) and significantly exceed the code-specified values under partial wind angles. The observations obtained from this study may provide helpful guidance on the wind-resistant design of this relatively novel type of combined angle tower.
