Abstract:
Cooling towers are a significant class of engineering construction and usually present structural pathologies that diminish their strength. A complete study of the towers of the Spanish power plant, TERUEL, is presented in this paper. Throughout the process, a structural analysis and the consequent safety analysis were created, and multimedia software was written to facilitate maintenance tracking of towers along their future lifetime.
