Cascading failure in a distribution system and how steel utility poles can help

Описание: This video is part of a new video series called #SteelPolesExplained where each week I go into a new topic related to steel utility poles, distribution system, and anything that is interesting in our industry.

More information on the deterioration/aging mechanisms of both wood and steel utility poles discussed in this video can be found in the article "Age-dependent fragility and life-cycle cost analysis of wood and steel power distribution poles subjected to hurricanes" in Structure and Infrastructure Engineering- July 2015- DOI: 10.1080/15732479.2015.1053949
