Abstract
This paper describes the successful grouting of prestressing tendons o n Taff Viaduct, part of the Butetown Link Road in Cardiff. Discussion of the grout's performance shows the relationship of water/cement rati o, admixtures and temperature to bleed, shrinkage and flow, Also, the practical problems associated with grouting of discontinuous internal ducts typical of a segmental structure are highlighted.
