Assessment of the Stress Corrosion Cracking of Post-Tensioned Tendons at the John Day Lock.
Abstract
This report discusses research to determine the susceptability of post-tensioned tendons to corrosion on repairs at the John Day Lock. The investigation assessed whether the repair system might fail due to stress corrosion cracking, investigated the rate at which this failure might occur, and recommended ways to reduce risk of system failure. A high-strength wire used for post-tension cable meeting ASTM-A-416-74 specifications was found to be susceptible to general corrosion in aqueous environments and to stress corrosion cracking in low-pH environments.
