Abstract: This study involves examining a second technique for improving external prestressing tendons to remediate the deflection and cracking of an 18-year-old strengthened four-span continuous post-tensioned prestressed concrete ...

Abstract: Concrete cracking induced by strand corrosion can degrade bond strength and lead to prestress loss. A novel model is proposed to predict corrosion-induced prestress loss in pretensioned concrete structures. The coupling ...

Abstract: Strand corrosion can cause the flexural capacity deterioration of prestressed concrete (PC) beams. An analytical model incorporating the effects of strand cross-section reduction, material deterioration, concrete cracking, ...
