39. Post Tension Tendon Assessment
Wando River Bridge
PROJECT
Tendon condition assessment
CLIENT
HDR Engineering
IPC ROLE
Condition assessment of Tendon to determine extent of corrosion due to age
of bridge
Problem Solved
Loose and failed tendons led to concern of condition of tendon system.
IPC solution included magnetic flux in lieu of ECT, which produced misleading
results. MF result led to fewer invasive examinations from open tendon
