The aim is to assess the compressive strength of precast reinforced concrete in cooling tower columns and propose a structural evaluation method.
Evaluated compressive strength using non-destructive testing on columns of a hyperbolic cooling tower.
Applied a statistical approach to derive characteristic strength for individual and grouped columns.
Proposed a graphical method for analyzing the tilt direction due to strength distribution.
Significant variability in compressive strength values observed across measurement zones and columns.
All compressive strength values exceeded the design strength criteria.
The proposed method aids in understanding the structural condition of cooling towers.
