• Abstract:
  The FHWA Offices of Bridges & Structures and Research & Development leveraged the services of other offices within FHWA (Office of International Programs and the Office of Innovation Management, Education, and Partnership) to collaborate with international bridge owners and experts on advancements in post-tensioning (PT). These collaborations have resulted in the identification of several technologies that will advance the state-of-practice in the United States in PT durability, monitorability, and installation. This brochure highlights seven identified PT advancements that will improve PT tendon resilience, intelligence, and corrosion resistance. Improvements to workforce training are also highlighted. FHWA is in the early stage of implementing these advancements with three of the PT advancements being verified through United States demonstration projects and three additional advancements being researched at FHWA and other United States universities.
