This paper experimentally studied the shear behavior of corroded post-tensioned prestressed concrete beams with full grouting. The effects of insufficient grouting in shear span on the shear behavior were also investigated. Eight beams were fabricated and divided into two groups: four beams with full grouting and four beams with insufficient grouting. Three beams in each group were subjected to accelerated corrosion. All beams were tested to failure in four-point loading. Experimental data on shear cracking, load-deflection response, shear strength and failure modes were presented. Results showed that strand corrosion accelerated the formation and propagation of diagonal crack. Insufficient grouting decreased the number of diagonal cracks. Strand corrosion degraded the post-cracking stiffness and shear strength. Insufficient grouting aggravated the propagation of diagonal crack and the degradation of post-cracking stiffness. The shear strength of corroded beam with 31.7% corrosion loss decreased by 15.44% as compared to that of the uncorroded beam. Strand corrosion loss less than 31.7% did not change the shear compression failure mode in fully grouted beams. The failure modes of locally ungrouted beams changed from shear compression failure to rupture of wires as the corrosion loss exceeded 39.6%.
