ABSTRACT
This paper discusses prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) prestressing wire testing results from 2017 to 2021 and the correlation between dynamic strain aging (DSA) and hydrogen embrittlement. It provides a case study on how this information affected GLWA’s pipeline management approach. Additionally, in August 2022, Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) experienced a main break on a 120-in. PCCP water main that caused disruptions to more than 1,000,000 customers. A forensic investigation was also performed on this water main, and lengths of prestressing wire were submitted for the laboratory testing. The results of this testing are also included as a case study.
