Optimization Of Methodology For Durability Assessment Of Steel Pylons
Čada, Pavel ; Ing. Miroslav. Brodňan, Ph.D. (referee) ; Chobola, Zdeněk (referee) ; Švehla,, Vladimír (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
In this thesis the corrosion resistance of two types of steel materials were evaluated, Corten A as a representative of WS (weathering steel) and the corrosion resistance of anti-corrosion protection formed by the zinc coating. The different kinetics of corrosive processes was found during the NSS test. WS steel exposed to 400 hours of NSS laboratory test showed growth of the corrosion rate, however, after this period of time there has been a significant decline in this rate. Conversely, when using Zn as anodic protection, the corrosion losses decrease linear up to 300 hours of exposure, but after this time there was a relatively significant linear increase in corrosion rate. During measurements on existing VHV pylons they were measured corrosion decreases of steel and Zn anti-corrosion protection. Normal corrosion rate for weathering steel with 10 m.a-1 and for Zn corrosion loss 1.8 m.a-1 were found. Technical and economic assessment were evaluated using variant of new poles with Zn surface layer and revitalization of existing pylons from WS steel. With regard to all aspects obtained from laboratory tests and economic assessments, friendlier version of revitalization of existing VHV pylons from WS steel using a sufficient corrosion resistance of these steels were found out.
