Continuity tests in reinforced concrete columns for natural LPS

Abstract

In the present paper, we show results concerning measurements as well as several computer simulations in relation to the implementation of standards I EC 62305 [2] [3] [4] [5] and the Brazilian NBR 5419 [1] with regard specifically to the use of structure natural components, such as vertical and horizontal columns, used as a means of current flow in the incidence of a lightning discharge.
