This training is intended to update and improve the competence of participant as required
by industry on basic understanding of the analysis, design and installation of reinforced
and pre-stressed concrete electric power transmission poles as appropriate technology
for our country.
Participant will also have an opportunity of revising on key differences between reinforced
concrete and pre-stressed concrete with emphasis on their behavior under loads along
with potential failure mechanisms, citing both reinforced and pre-stressed concrete
electric power transmission poles.
To enhance this professional training, participant will be given hardcopies of all lecture
handouts and after each lecture a soft copy of handout will also be given to the participant.
It is therefore important for each participant to come with his/her own laptop.
At the end of the training each participant will be awarded with a respective certificate of
attendance.
Demonstrate to the participant on step by step analysis and design process for
various components of reinforced concrete electric power transmission poles with
application of prevailing codes of practice.
Demonstrate to the participant on step by step analysis and design process for
various components of pre-stressed concrete electric power transmission poles with
application of prevailing codes of practice.
Illustrate to the participant on installation guidelines and procedures for the pre-cast
concrete poles.
3. Course Contents
The following lessons will be covered during training:
Lesson 1: Introduction to Pre-stressed Concrete
