The majority of bridges built in the United States utilize concrete bridge elements with prestressed uncoated steel strands that are susceptible to corrosion, leading to structure deterioration. Delaying strand corrosion will reduce maintenance needs, extend bridge service life, and enhance safety.

NCHRP Research Report 1161: Stainless Steel Strands for Prestressed Concrete Bridge Elements, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents state-of-the-art guidelines to assist state departments of transportation (DOTs) in the applications of stainless steel strands for prestressed concrete bridge elements.
