1 Evaluation and Repair of Existing Post- Tensioned Buildings with Paper Wrapped Tendons Experiencing Corrosion Damage K. Dirk Bondy, S.E. President Seneca Structural Engineering, Inc. The Great American Cable Company II, Inc. CA C50 Contractor # (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 1 of 40

2 Introduction The purpose of the talk is to discuss how to determine if a building is experiencing loss of post-tensioning due to corrosion, and what can be done to repair the structure if it has lost significant prestress. (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 2 of 40

3 What are the signs that the structure might have lost post- tensioning due to corrosion? (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 3 of 40

15 #3 Evaluate the cracking patterns in the concrete Are the cracks typical shrinkage & restraint cracks or something else? (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 15 of 40

16 Evaluating Corrosion in Paper- Wrapped P/T Systems By definition, a through-crack cannot have any compression across the crack. Through cracks indicate that all of the post-tensioning in that region has been lost to either restraint or loss of prestress in the tendons. (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 16 of 40

17 Evaluating Corrosion in Paper- Wrapped P/T Systems If a through-crack exists at a location of high bending moment, and is not diagonal restraint-type cracking, there s a good chance that the loss of compression is due to loss of prestress in the tendons (corrosion). (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 17 of 40

18 Perform a Lift-off Test? Friction and bonding caused by deteriorated paper and buildup of corrosion product can cause erroneous conclusions from hydraulic jack lift-off tests (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 18 of 40

19 Evaluating Corrosion in Paper- Wrapped P/T Systems When evaluating corrosion, ALL of the forensic evidence available must be taken into account. Experience in distinguishing between typical restraint/shrinkage cracking and cracking due to corrosion or loss of P/T is critical.

20 What s s steps do you take when you have determined that the structure has lost significant prestess? (C) COPYRIGHT POST-TENSIONING INSTITUTE, ALL RIGHT RESERVED Page 20 of 40

21 Repairing the System Remove Remove all loose concrete; Clean Clean (sand blast) exposed corroded reinforcement; Patch Patch large concrete spalls and epoxy significant cracks; Consider Consider sealing the top of the deck with an elastomeric coating.

27 External Post-Tensioning External post-tensioning (EPT) can be very effective in the strengthening and repair of existing structures. An active force pushes on the existing structure without adding weight. By directly connecting to the columns or beams the slab is relieved by an amount equal to the vertical component of the EPT.
