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 An Experimental Study on the Non destructive Evaluation of Corroded Bridge Steel

Download or read book An Experimental Study on the Non destructive Evaluation of Corroded Bridge Steel written by Stephen J. Burke and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many older steel bridges have been affected by the deteriorating effects of corrosion. As bridges age and the material loss caused by both pitting and uniform corrosion becomes more severe, the structural capacity of the various members becomes questionable. An experimental investigation was undertaken to non-destructively quantify the effects that the uniform and pitting corrosion have upon the steel's load carrying and hysteretic energy dissipating capabilities. Various non-destructive evaluation technologies were reviewed in an attempt to determine which methods would be best suited for the purpose of creating accurate thickness and roughness maps of the corroded steel. Existing corroded bridge steel was non-destructively evaluated using the various technologies and tensile and cyclic tests were then performed to determine the accuracy of the various methods' thickness and roughness mapping methods.

Book Pack Rust Identification and Mitigation Strategies for Steel Bridges

Download or read book Pack Rust Identification and Mitigation Strategies for Steel Bridges written by Chintan Hitesh Patel and published by . This book was released on 2019-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pack rust or crevice corrosion is a type of localized corrosion. When a metal is in contact with a metal, or even non-metal, the metal starts to corrode, and rust starts to pack in between the surfaces. When significant development of pack rust occurs, it can cause overstressing of bolts and rivets causing them to fail, and it can bend connecting plates and member elements thus reducing their buckling capacity. Thus it is important to mitigate the formation and growth of pack rust in bridges. This study was conducted to determine if pack rust occurs frequently and thereby may pose a problem in the state of Indiana. The study is divided into three primary tasks. The first part of the study involves understanding the parameters involved in the initiation process of crevice corrosion and post-initiation crevice corrosion process. The second part of the study involves reviewing existing mitigation strategies and repair procedures used by state DOTs. The third part of the study involves identifying steel bridges with pack rust in Indiana. Analyses were performed on the data collected from Indiana bridges that have pack rust. This involved finding the components and members of bridges which are most affected by pack rust and finding parameters which influence the formation of pack rust. Pack rust in the steel bridges were identified using the INDOT inspection reports available through BIAS system. The study revealed that good maintenance practices helped in reducing pack rust formation. The study identified locations on steel bridges which have a high probability towards pack rust formation. A mitigating strategy possessing qualities which can show promising results is identified.
