Performance Of Reinforced Concrete Beam With Embedded Galvanized Steel As Lightning Down Conductor Cable

Due to current problem with existing lightning protection systems such corrosion and stolen cable, a new system that can be installed within concrete structures has been introduced by the International of Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). However, detailed installation guidelines were not provided...
