摘要: During the past 20-plus years, designs based on the post-tension segmental box concept have evolved to become a predominant form of bridge construction; however, during the past five years, instances of tendon deterioration and failure have been disclosed on several Florida bridges. The underlying mechanism has been diagnosed as strand corrosion at grout voids in which bleed water accumulated. Cracking of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ducts within which the grouted strands reside has also been disclosed. The purpose of the present research was to (1) assess the causes and mechanisms of this HDPE duct cracking, (2) develop performance based assessment tests, and (3) propose a standard for HDPE ducts employed in Florida bridges.
