Research on the Aging of Concrete Foundations of Electrical Transmission Towers
After a long-term operation of electrical transmission lines,due to environmental and load fac-tors,the concrete foundations of transmission towers will undergo varying degrees of aging,leading to a de-crease in the performance and service life of the tower foundations,posing a hidden danger to the safe and stable operation of the electrical transmission lines.This paper conducts inspections on the concrete foun-dations of typical transmission towers in operation in a city,analyzes the causes and mechanisms of tower foundation aging,compares the performance differences between the surface and underground parts of the foundation,providing experience and methods for future constructors and maintenance personnel of trans-mission tower concrete foundations.
