Abstract
This paper conducted to evaluate electrical continuity of steelworks within reinforced concrete apartment structures as the down conductor in external lightning protection system. The reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete structures can be used as the down conductor when their overall electrical resistance is not greater than the resistance value of 0.2 ohm between the uppermost part and the ground level. According to the results of electrical resistances measured by 4-terminal low resistance measurements, the steelworks in reinforced concretes structures exhibited the electrical continuity with low electrical resistance.
