Evaluation of Post-Tensioned (PT) structures and the PT impregnation technique to mitigate corrosion of grouted PT tendons. Project case studies and laboratory research will be presented to demonstrate the technique and its effectiveness.
There has been a long history of bonded post-tensioning (PT) in reinforced concrete structures. Generally, these structures have performed well except when bonded PT tendons have suffered from corrosion as a result of grout deficiencies.
For many years cement – water grout was used for grouting PT tendons. Cement – water grouted tendons are likely to have voids in the grout due to the propensity of cement – water grouts to bleed. Prepackaged grouts are generally more robust but they may segregate in certain circumstances. Segregated prepackaged grouts have also contributed to PT strand corrosion.
Evaluation of existing post-tensioned structures is important to determine if defects exist in the grout.
If grouting defects are identified an impregnation system can be used to mitigate corrosion and extend the service life of PT tendons installed in deficient grout.
This paper discusses the evaluation of PT structures and the PT impregnation technique which has been developed to mitigate corrosion of grouted PT tendons. Project case studies and laboratory research will be presented to demonstrate the technique and its effectiveness.
This paper discusses options available to rehabilitate, extend the service life and strengthen damaged columns and piles in marine environments.

Laboratory investigation on the impacts of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals, i.e., surfactant and polymer, on calcium carbonate scale formation and inhibition.
In the current study, mild steel specimens (API 5L X65) were exposed to a 1 wt% NaCl solution sparged at 0.096 MPa pCO2 and 15 ×10-6 MPa or less pH2S (≤ 150 ppm H2S/CO2).
