Assessing Corrosion Damage and Corrosion Progression in Multistrand Anchor Systems in Use at Corps Projects

Abstract: Stressed steel tendons have been used to strengthen hydraulic structures and to improve their serviceability and stability. Over the past three decades, the US Army Corps of Engineers has worked to upgrade its projects by installing high-capacity, post-tensioned foundation anchors. The goal has been to achieve structural stability for Corps hydraulic concrete structures and/or to remediate cracked concrete monoliths. Substantial improvements to protect multistrand anchor systems from corrosion have been made s… Show more

“…This interim report, along with Ebeling et al (2012Ebeling et al ( , 2013 and Haskins et al (2014), reflects the research progress made to date. In FY14, the authors were able to develop an extensive database of 183 pristine and corroded seven-wire strand cable pull-test specimens and reveal that their capacity relates to either the minimum wire area or the minimum wire diameter.…”

“…The forensic investigation of John Day Lock anchorage revealed the presence of mildew (Ebeling et al 2013), which can lead to microbiological corrosion. It was judged that this mildew was not likely to be a primary contributor for anchor corrosion at John Day.…”

“…One example is John Day Lock and Dam, shown in Figure 1.1. Each John Day anchor head ( Figure 1.2) contains 37 seven-wire strand cables that were locked-off at approximately 1,518 kips, or 70% of the Specified Minimum Tensile Strength (SMTS) (Ebeling et al 2012(Ebeling et al , 2013. The goal has been to achieve structural stability for Corps hydraulic concrete structures and/or to remediate cracked concrete monoliths.…”

“…In 2012, ERDC was involved with the disassembly of two highly corroded John Day anchor heads that the results from the 2009 Cornforth Consultants lift-off tests had shown to be no longer effective for bearing loads (Ebeling et al 2013). Based on ERDC's field investigation, one speculative finding was that the two analyzed anchor heads might have stopped taking grout through the lower stage grout tubes during construction.…”
