Book Long term Effects of Cathodic Protection on Prestressed Concrete Bridge Components

Download or read book Long term Effects of Cathodic Protection on Prestressed Concrete Bridge Components written by William Handy Hartt and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While cathodic protection effectively reduces or stops ongoing corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete, applicability of this technology to prestressing steel has been limited because of concerns of possible bond loss and hydrogen embrittlement. Within this context the present research was intended as a comprehensive, multifaceted undertaking to elevate the understanding of prestressed concrete cathodic protection to the same level as for reinforced concrete. The experimental part of the program involved three approaches: 1) constant extension rate tests (CERT) upon straight tendon wire, 2) monitoring of cathodically polarized prestressed beams for both bond loss and hydrogen embrittlement, and 3) concrete block pullout tests involving both tendon and wire.

Book Long term Effects of Cathodic Protection on Prestressed Concrete Bridge Components

Download or read book Long term Effects of Cathodic Protection on Prestressed Concrete Bridge Components written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While cathodic protection effectively reduces or stops ongoing corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete, applicability of this technology to prestressed members has been limited because of concerns regarding possible bond loss and hydrogen embrittlement. Within this context, the present research was intended as a comprehensive, multifaceted undertaking to elevate the understanding of prestressed concrete cathodic protection to the same level as for reinforced concrete. The program involved four components: (1) constant extension rate testing (CERT) of precorroded tendon wires, (2) cathodic overprotection of precorroded, pretensioned beams with evaluation for hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility, (3) concrete block pull-out tests to determine any effect of cathodic protection on the tendon-to-concrete bond, and (4) evaluation of a commercially available remote monitoring and control hardware and software system for application to prestressed concrete cathodic protection.

Book Cathodic Protection Field Trials on Prestressed Concrete Components  Final Report

Download or read book Cathodic Protection Field Trials on Prestressed Concrete Components Final Report written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report in a study to demonstrate the feasibility of using cathodic protection (CP) on concrete bridge structures containing prestressed steel. The interim report, FHWA-RD-95-032, has more details on the installation of selected CP systems. Past laboratory and test yard studies had indicated that overprotection could result in the evolution of atomic hydrogen and the embrittlement of prestressing steel. Systems utilizing catalyzed titanium mesh, conductive rubber, and arc-sprayed zinc anodes were installed on prestressed pilings and girders of the Howard Frankland Bridge in Tampa, Florida; and systems using flame-sprayed zinc and conductive paint anodes were installed on the soffit of prestressed box beams of the Abbey Road and West 130th Street bridges near Cleveland, Ohio. For most of the components tested, CP was achieved safely and reliably without reaching conditions that could result in embrittlement of prestressed steel.

Book Long term Performance of Corrosion Inhibitors Used in Repair of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Components

Download or read book Long term Performance of Corrosion Inhibitors Used in Repair of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Components written by Moavin Islam and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the project was to determine the effectiveness of cathodic protection, electrochemical chloride extraction, and corrosion-inhibitor treatment systems installed during the SHRP effort through the long-term evaluation of 32 field test sites and a number of laboratory concrete slab specimens. The FHWA program required monitoring the long-term performance of corrosion inhibitor treatments on selected components of four bridges that were treated and evaluated under SHRP C-103. Three evaluations over a period of 5 years were conducted on structures located in Minnesota, New York and Pennsylvania, and two evaluations were conducted on a structure in Washington State. An analysis of the results concluded that neither of the corrosion inhibitors evaluated in this study, using the specified repairs and exposed to the specific environments, provided any corrosion-inhibiting benefit. Shrinkage cracking plagued repairs at all test sites except for the Washington site.

Book Corrosion of Steel in Concrete

Download or read book Corrosion of Steel in Concrete written by John P. Broomfield and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion of Steel in Concrete provides information on corrosion of steel in atmospherically exposed concrete structures and serves as a guide for those designing, constructing and maintaining buildings, bridges and all reinforced concrete structures. This new edition incorporates the new European standards as well as USA and other international standards. It also covers developments in galvanic and impressed current cathodic protection, new electrochemical techniques such as electro-osmosis, and stainless steel clad reinforcing bars. The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is a major problem facing civil engineers and surveyors throughout the world today. There will always be a need to build structures in corrosive environments and it is therefore essential to address the problems that result. This is a book to educates about and forms a guide to the problems of corrosion, its causes and how to find solutions.

Book Cathodic Protection of Concrete Bridges

Download or read book Cathodic Protection of Concrete Bridges written by Jack E. Bennett and published by Strategic Highway Research Program (Shrp).
