Abstract |
The steel strands in posttensioned (PT) concrete systems are typically embedded inside cementitious grout for protection from the environment. However, strands not embedded in grout have been observed in PT systems. The exposed strand is susceptible to corrosion, and particularly the location where the strand protrudes from the grout (i.e., grout-air-steel interface) is more vulnerable to corrosion....
