Localization and diagnosis of stay rod of V guyed towers corrosion

The paper presents an interesting research to a diagnosis system that will can localize and classify the corrosion process in response to electrical signals applied to the rod terminal that emerges from the soil. A special connector was developed to apply and receive high frequency signals on these rods through a network analyzer. Time domain analyses were performed to localize corrosion points on anchor rod surface. The corrosion levels will be inferred by neural network analysis.
