Grouted and nongrouted tendons for prestressed concrete pressure vessels

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6077284

A model study was conducted under the Prestressed Concrete Pressure Vessel (PCPV) Program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to appraise grouted and nongrouted tendon systems for PCPV application. Results are presented for the experimental portion of the investigation which was conducted in four phases: (1) grouted--nongrouted tendon behavior, (2) potential new materials for PCPV applications, (3) effectiveness of organic petrolatum-based and portland cement corrosion inhibitors, and (4) acoustic emission as a technique for PCPV structural integrity monitoring.
