Experimental Research on Durability of Concrete of Transmission Lines in Wuhu Area

Article Preview

Abstract:

The concrete used in transmission lines are basically for foundations. The foundation concrete of transmission lines in corrosive environments has shown serious deterioration, which usually caused by concrete deterioration, rebar corrosion, degradation of bond strength between rebar and concrete due to various corrosive effects. Field tests are carried out in Wuhu area to research the durability of foundation concrete of transmission lines. And test results show that the concrete strength in the air is a litter higher than underground and the carbonization depth at the windward side is the largest of each foundation and the leeward side is the smallest, while those underground are close to zero.
