Abstract
The primary focus of this project is to assess the effectiveness of five different flexible fillers in preventing corrosion-induced failures, particularly when exposed to water and chloride containing solutions. The specimens tested are single steel wires that ranged from (12-16cm) in length and 7 mm in diameter.
Samples are monitored to study the impact of factors like water and chloride solution concentration to identify when and which one could cause corrosion to initiate when the steel wires are coated with different flexible fillers. The goal is to identify the types of flexible fillers that protect the steel wires from corroding for better durability and safety of post-tensioned structures in various industries.
