Combined Way of Diagnostics of Reinforced Concrete Conical Structures

Abstract

Reinforced concrete conical structures are the basis of safety and operational reliability of railways power supply systems. The article presents optimal methods for diagnostics of reinforced concrete structures, which allow recommending the sequence and amount of repair work aimed at restoring or maintaining the required state of reinforced concrete conical section structures (contact-line supports, power transmission line supports, etc.). A design scheme is proposed for determining the residual bearing capacity of the support in the presence of cracks and corrosion of the reinforcement.
