STRESS CORROSION CRACKING SUSCEPTIBILITY OF STEEL STRANDS IN CONCRETE CONTAMINATING SALT
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of steel strands are the significant durability problem ofprestressed concrete structures. The theoretical analysis shows that in concrete contaminatedwith salt, it is difficult to have the SCC with anodic dissolution in steel strands for themicrostructure of tensile pearlites. To find the susceptibility of SCC with hydrogen inducedcracking (HIC), the occluded cell corrosion (OCC) model of steel strands in concretecontaminated with salt is presented on the base of the microstructures. Hydrogen may beproduced in OCC, but it is difficult to get a high concentration in hydrogen traps; or even ifsome hydrogen traps get a high concentration and cracking is caused, the cracking isapproximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of steel wires. So, in general, the HIC isdifficult to occur in steel strands. The long-term experimental investigations also show that inconcrete contaminated with salt, the conditions of HIC of steel strands are not easy to berealized.
