Condition of Prestressed Concrete Bridge Components: Technology Review and Field Surveys
The report describes results of a technology review and field condition surveys carried out in the area of prestressed concrete (PS/C) bridge components. Both pretensioned and post-tensioned systems are included. The technology review indicates that most prestressed concrete bridges, when properly designed and constructed, can perform adequately even in severe environments. Only a limited number of structural failures attributed to corrosion of prestressed elements have been documented. Field surveys were carried out on 12 bridges located in severe environments, including both marine exposure and exposure to deicing agents.
