GEOTECHNICAL EXPLORATION AND TESTING OF TERRAIN FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE TRANSFORMER STATION PORTALS TS 400/110/10 KV IN STANARI

Abstract

After noticing the cracks in the reinforced concrete foundation pillars within the transformer station in Stanari, there was a need for additional geotechnical exploration and testing of terrain. The paper presents the procedures of geotechnical exploration and testing and also part of the performed analyzes for the determinaton of the causes of cracks and deformations on the foundations of pillars. All it with the aim of proposing rational remediation and stopping further deformations. The subject of the exploration were four pillars of the portal, three of which have pronounced cracks and deformations.
