Book Environmentally Acceptable Materials for the Corrosion Protection of Steel Bridges

Download or read book Environmentally Acceptable Materials for the Corrosion Protection of Steel Bridges written by Robert Kogler and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recently promulgated environmental regulations concerning volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and certain hazardous heavy metals have had a large impact on the bridge painting industry. As a response to these regulations, many of the major coating manufacturers have begun to offer "environmentally acceptable" alternative coating systems to replace those traditionally used on bridge structures. In the interest of determining the relative corrosion control performance of these newly available coating systems, the Federal Highway Administration contracted for a seven-year study. As a precursor to long-term, natural exposure testing of various environmentally acceptable coating systems, a battery of accelerated laboratory screening tests were performed. These tests included 13 high solids or waterborne, conventionally applied coatings; 14 powder coating or metallized coatings; and 7 high VOC control coatings. These systems were tested in a cyclic salt fog/natural marine exposure, a cyclic brine immersion/natural marine exposure, and a natural marine exposure. Adhesion and water penetration tests were also performed on each system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recently promulgated environmental regulations concerning volatile organic compounds (VOC) and certain hazardous heavy metals have had a great impact on the bridge painting industry. As a response to these regulations, many of the major coating manufacturers now offer "environmentally acceptable" alternative coating systems to replace those traditionally used on bridge structures. The Federal Highway Administration sponsored a 7-year study to determine the relative corrosion control performance of these newly available coating systems. The most promising coating systems were selected for long-term field evaluation based on accelerated test performance. The long-term exposure testing was conducted for 5 years in three marine locations. Panels were exposed on two bridges, one in New Jersey and one in southern Louisiana. The third long-term exposure location was in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. Thirteen coating systems were included for long-term exposure testing.

Book Maintenance Issues and Alternate Corrosion Protection Methods for Exposed Bridge Steel

Download or read book Maintenance Issues and Alternate Corrosion Protection Methods for Exposed Bridge Steel written by Tom W. Neal and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1998 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to state department of transportation (DOT) bridge maintenance engineers, coating specialists, chemists, and researchers. Manufacturers and suppliers of corrosion protection products and systems for exposed structural steel on existing bridges will also find it of interest. This synthesis describes current practice regarding maintenance and protection strategies for exposed structural steel on existing bridges. NCHRP Synthesis 251, Lead-Based Paint Removal for Steel Highway Bridges ( 1997), provides a complementary and more in-depth treatment of maintenance issues involving lead-based paint removal. This report of the Transportation Research Board defines the maintenance management systems and decision making criteria used by transportation agencies for maintaining exposed bridge steel. Material selection criteria, surface preparation and application practices, quality control and quality assurance programs, and funding mechanisms are discussed in detail. The impact of recent and proposed environmental and worker protection regulations on current practice is reported. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying state transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search. Responses to the survey, Appendix C to this document, are published on the Internet as NCHRP Web Document 11.

Book Hydroblasting and Coating of Steel Structures

Download or read book Hydroblasting and Coating of Steel Structures written by A. Momber and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KEY FEATURES: • This technique is growing in importance. • The first comprehensive book in this subject. A practical and comprehensive account of the technology and applications of hydroblasting, a technique used more and more in the preparation of steel and other surfaces. Steel surfaces will corrode unless they are properly prepared and coated. Such corrosion can have disastrous effects (eg bridge collapse) therefore the preparation of the surface is of major importance. Due to environmental pressure to move away from grit-blasting, high-pressure water can now be used to prepare surfaces, with few environmental costs. This book systematically and critically reviews the state of current hydroblasting technology and its applications. The book is essentially practical in nature and is written by an expert in the field.
