DYWIDAG Circular Structure Repair with Hoop Tendons
Comparison of Corrosion Inhibitors for PCCP Tendons
The table below compares corrosion inhibitor used by DSI in its Hoop Tendons for PCCP repair vs. the standards of the Post-Tensioning Institute for unbonded tendons, Ref. Table 3.2.1, of the Post Tensioning Manual, Fifth Ed. This table shows the superior quality of the PCCP tendon inhibitor, in particular, for the specific gravity, dropping point, base no., salt fog, soak tests, and water soluble ions.
