Abstract
The paper proposes a method for forecasting residual life of reinforced concrete catenary poles based on the calculation of fatigue characteristics in SolidWorks Simulation software environment. With the consideration for additional factors of crack formation the authors have gained the fatigue (life) curve of the catenary pole and have determined positions and elements that are the most susceptible to fatigue effect. On the basis of the data gained the authors have developed a method for determining a residual bearing capacity by a special nomogram. As a result, the authors have formed an order of carrying out monitoring of reinforced concrete catenary poles.
