Abstract: This paper discusses the improvement expected in the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements subjected to chloride-rich environments through the use of blended cement. Comparisons are made between ...

Abstract: Transmission line towers, though designed per code provisions, may fail during mandatory testing required in many countries. Different types of premature failures that were observed during full-scale testing of transmission ...

Abstract: The analytical deformation of a transmission line (TL) tower computed using software is less than the test deformation. A TL tower consists of many splice joints in the leg member. A small rotation owing to bolt slip in ...
