Design Considerations for Tapered Prestressed Concrete Poles

摘要

align="left">Prestresse-d concrete poles are used for lighting, electric distribution and transmission lines, antenna masts, and? other applications.' Compared to reinforced concrete members, these elements offer: (a) a? wider range of elastic behavior, (b) better control of cracking and resistance to corrosion, (c) relatively high bending strength, and (d) ease of handling and installation.
