Abstract
A curable composition applied to the surface of a tendon for prestressed concrete contains at least an epoxy resin and a moisture-curing type curing agent. In the curable composition, the tensioning-permitting time L at 90° C. is at least 20 hours, and the number of days M required to cure at normal temperature is at most 1095 days. The curable composition for tendons for prestressed concrete according to the present invention permits complete prevention of corrosion without conducting injection of a grout into a sheath and can be used even when the curable composition is heated to a high temperature by heat generated upon hardening of concrete.
