This is an open access book. This book focuses on the durability problems of existing
prestressed concrete (PC) structures caused by strand corrosion clarifies the mechanical
behavior of corroded prestressing strands corrosion-induced cracking bond degradation
prestress loss and structural performance deterioration and proposes the corresponding
prediction models. Its aim is to provide the knowledge tools and methods to understand the
deterioration phenomena of PC structures. We hope that this text may be useful for those who
work in the field of civil engineering. It is suitable for teachers and students majoring in
civil engineering in universities and researchers in the field of civil engineering. It is
also suitable for practitioners of design institutes construction units supervising units and
traffic management departments.
