E N D
Phase II Testing • 25 Phase II Mixes • Control, silica fume, fly ash, slag, ternary, Aquron, Ipanex • Phase II Testing • Freeze-thaw, scaling, ASR, Cloride ion permeability, shrinkage, abrasion • Continued corrosion testing
Revised Scope • Delay in bridge construction for I-99 section C-10 (15 single spans) • Focus on lab testing and best practices guide • Development of instrumentation plan • New HPC projects • Districts 9-0 and 4-0 HPC decks for summer 2002 • New grouting specifications and details for Post-Tensioning
HPC Decks – Summer 2002 • Kernville viaduct, Johnstown, District 9-0 • 3300 ft • multi-span, curved composite bridge • District 4-0 • Approximately 500 ft
Tasks for Summer HPC Decks • Review mix designs • Review casting sequence • Review quality control data during casting • Log of construction practices • Evaluate placing and curing techniques to improve concrete quality • Instrumentation • Companion slabs
Instrumentation embedment • Temperature • Strain • Deflections • Corrosion monitoring surface sister bar
Durability of Post-Tensioned StructuresGrout SpecificationsDurability Design Details
Durability and Post-Tensioning moisture, Cl-, CO2 • Extremely durable when properly constructed • Crack control • Multiple protection levels concrete duct grout The grout is the last level of protection for the strand strand
Purpose of Grout • Corrosion protection • Bond
Properties • Fluidity • Bleed • Segregation • Set Time • Strength • Permeability • Volume Change • Corrosion Protection Bleed
Bleed in Grouts Bleed • Bleed water is trapped in duct • Higher vertical rises = higher pressures and more bleed water • Strand promotes bleed by wicking Intermediate lense
Bleed Lenses • Voids • Loss of protective environment 9 ¾” bleed column Intermediate lense
Keys to a Good Grout • Completely fills duct • Low permeability • Appropriate bleed resistance • Careful use of admixtures Many admixtures help one grout property while degrading another
Tasks under WO-81 • Literature review and summary of current practice • Development of specification language, details, and revisions to PennDOT publications • Scope includes • Grouting (materials, procedures, venting) • Durability details (anchorage, duct material) • Inspection/repair • Training of personnel
