Abstract:

On Thursday November 3, 2022, 58 attendees representing post-tensioning bridge constructors, inspectors, subject matter experts and bridge owners gathered at the Hyatt Regency Conference Space in Austin, Texas to discuss the progress and current state of post-tensioning (PT) technology and associated materials. This report presents the outcomes of the workshop as a contribution to the ongoing effort to improve this technology and advise on its use in future bridge designs. The purpose of this report is to summarize the information presented by experts in the field of PT technology in order to improve the process and quality of PT implementation in future construction and designs. Future readers may use this report both as an informative guide when implementing PT technology and to improve the service-life of current designs. Finally, the technologies discussed in this this report will serve to guide structural health and monitoring as well as non-destructive testing to advance the overall PT state of practice.
