There are many advantages of pre-stressed concrete poles, so they are developing rapidly. Compared with common concrete poles, their strong points are as follows: A. saving a great deal of steel, about 30~70% (employing cold drawn steel wire can save 30%~60%; employing high stress steel wire can save 40%~69%); B. crack resistance increased 3~5 times; C. rigidity increased 1~3 times; D. reducing the cost (using cold drawn steel wire can reduce 25%~40%; using high stress steel wire can reduce 12%~21%); E. good durability, can delay the existence and expansion of cracks; F. protects the environment on which human beings depend on for existence, and reduce the deforestation. |
