The failure of a 1.5 m diameter prestressed concrete line for water supply was examined. The water pressure opened a hole of 0.5 m 2 in the pipe wall by breaking the concrete into fragments and by tensile severing of a number of coils of the wire winding. Flexural and tensile testing of samples of the broken materials showed no damage to the concrete, but showed significant losses of strength and ductility in the prestressing steel wire. The SEM analysis of the external and fracture surfaces of the circumferential wires revealed shallow cracking and corroded areas as expected from a stress corrosion cracking process. The failure analysis presented in this paper shows that such a process was able to exhaust the damage tolerance of the affected tube until the pipeline burst under the work pressures.
