Why Tubular Steel Towers Dominate Saline Coastal Sites？
When Concrete Fails: Why Tubular Steel Towers Dominate Saline Coastal Sites Concrete: the seemingly indestructible backbone of modern infrastructure. Yet, place it on a saline coast, and a silent war begins. Salt-laden air and moisture penetrate pores, triggering corrosion of the embedded steel rebar. This rust expands, cracking the concrete from within – a process called spalling. What looks solid becomes dangerously compromised, often with little external warning until catastrophic failure looms. In the relentless battle against coastal corrosion, concrete has a critical vulnerability. This is precisely why tubular steel towers, armed with advanced protection systems, are becoming the undisputed champions for critical structures like telecom towers in these harsh environments. Let's break down their winning defenses: The Zn-5%Al Alloy Coating: The First Line of Defense What it is: A metallic coating consisting of 95% Zinc and 5% Aluminum, often applied via h...
