What are the functions of grout inside tendon ducts?

Answer: Grout in pre-stressing works serves the following purposes:
  • Protect the tendon against corrosion.
  • Improve the ultimate capacity of tendon.
  • Provide a bond between the structural member and the tendon.
  • In case of failure, the anchorage is not subject to all strain energy.
