Defines the specific brands and physical dimensions of the poles. Common length variants include 10.5m, 11m, and 16.4m.
The poles are produced using a vibration method , which densifies the concrete to improve durability and load-bearing capacity.
While the original GOST 23613-79 standard is no longer in active development, it has largely been superseded by newer technical specifications, such as . However, historical documentation and existing infrastructure often still cite the GOST 23613-79 parameters for maintenance and replacement parts.
Detailed specifications for materials, including the type of concrete and reinforcement steel used. For example, it specifies the use of A-I class steel for mounting loops.
It includes specific steel grade requirements for poles installed in extremely cold regions (down to ) to prevent brittle failure. Current Status
(ГОСТ 23613-79) is a Soviet-era state standard that specifies technical requirements for vibrated reinforced concrete poles used for high-voltage power lines . Although the standard is officially listed as "cancelled" (отменен), it remains a primary reference for the construction and repair of power lines with nominal voltages of 6–10 kV, 20 kV, and 35 kV. Core Content of the Standard
The document provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the production and quality control of concrete poles, structured as follows:
The standard accounts for different bending moments, allowing engineers to select poles based on the specific environmental and mechanical loads of a project.
