• Abstract:
  Post-tensioning is a method frequently used in construction of segmental bridges, continuous ; I-girder bridges, and piers. It involves using tendons, which are multiple strands, usually ; steel, installed through voids formed by ducts either inside or outside the concrete structure. ; These voids are then filled with a cementitious grout and sealed. In the past 15+ years, there ; has been a rise in durability issues related to post-tensioning tendons as a result of poor ; grouting practices or grout inconsistencies. These durability concerns can lead to expensive ; maintenance issues or possibly tendon ; failure, depending on the severity.
