Novice Methodology in Preserving Prestressed Cables by Injection of a Special Gel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The most popular grout solutions are based on the application of cement-based materials. They are most frequently being used for grouting of prestressing tendons. Besides, there are some kinds of grease or wax having a good flexibility of the coat layer, while providing adjustability of prestressing force inside strands. Main objective of the paper is to explore the conditions and review other relevant aspects in applying injection gel for covering the prestressing tendons.
