High-pressure penstocks for hydroelectric power stations, made from steel and reinforced concrete
Conclusions 1. The calculated failure point agrees with the results of tests and quite accurately determines the internal pressure at which the stresses in the casing and reinforcement reach the yield point. 2. A combined steel reinforced-concrete structure gives more reliable results, eliminating catastrophic failure which is characteristic of steel structures. The stress concentration in it is not so marked as in a metal design. 3. A combined steel reinforced-concrete structure, which is more rigid and massive, resists water-hammer stresses better. 4. The assembly of combined steel reinforced-concrete pipelines and branchess is nearly the same as that of steel ones, and can be done by the same methods and equipment and with the same procedure. 5. Combined steel reinforced-concrete designs permit the construction of pipes and junctions of practically any parameters. The construction can be used in pipe unions for main gas pipelines and similar structures.
