This report discusses design and installation of an experimental cathodic protection (CP) system on an existing corrosion-damaged concrete bridge deck. The experimental CP system was installed on an existing three-span concrete deck using platinized primary anodes and secondary anodes of carbon filaments placed in sawed slots, and backfilled with conductive polymer grout. The anodes and rebars (now cathodes) were connected to a DC rectifier-controller that maintains a preset potential level. An appendix containing specifications specially written for the experimental cathodic protection system described in this report is available to interested readers on request as a separate publication.

Corrosion of Steel in Concrete: Understanding, Investigation and Repair is a guide for designing, constructing and maintaining reinforced concrete structures, such as buildings and bridges which are subject to reinforcement corrosion. It presents the basics of theory and practice in steel corrosion in concrete and reviews the latest research and developments, such as progress on measuring the corrosion threshold for chloride-induced corrosion. This third edition compares the currently proliferating major national and international standards and guidance documents. New developments are considered, such as hybrid anodes for electrochemical treatment and the latest research and developments in assessment, such as the use of ground penetrating radar to measure the chloride content of the concrete cover. It overhauls coverage of electrochemical repair and rehabilitation techniques and outlines recent innovations in structural repair and construction and investigates their implications for durability. The book is ideal for practitioners and graduate students in structural engineering and concrete technology.

The conference focused on the major problem facing highway and bridge engineers: deterioration of concrete bridge decks caused by corrosion of the reinforcing steel. The conference was aimed primarily at giving bridge owners and engineers an understanding of cathodic protection as the only means to stop corrosion on bridge decks.

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 stuctures in corrosive environments and it is therefore essential to address the problems that result. Corrosion of Steel in Concrete provides information on corrosion of steel in at

Chloride-induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel in concrete is a major cause of premature concrete deterioration. This presentation describes the results of an investigation sponsored by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (Project 12-13) into the use of cathodic protection as a method of suppressing the corrosion of reinforcing steel in highway bridge concrete decks. The principal cause of bridge-deck corrosion is salt used for snow and ice removal. In this study, factors affecting the cathodic protection of steel reinforcement in concrete were investigated, and a variety of impress-current and sacrificial-anode approaches to cathodic protection of bridge decks were examined in laboratory and model testing.
