Corrosion of Steel Cables in Post-Tension Reinforced Concrete

APTECH was hired by a major home builder to investigate the corrosion of steel tendon cables used in a post-tension-reinforced concrete slab design. Our investigation included the use of ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic techniques for location of suspect cables. Soil and concrete corrosiveness were established by laboratory analysis. Our investigation concluded the there was no major corrosion problem. Recommendations were made to the builder regarding corrective actions.
