This is the interim report for a study to evaluate the use of sacrificial cathodic protection for reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge members. Cathodic protection (CP) using impressed current is an accepted and common method used to provide corrosion protection to steel in concrete. This study examined the performance of existing sacrificial alloys in different environments for sacrificial CP, and developed new sacrificial alloys for protecting steel in concrete. The study consisted of both laboratory and field tasks. The first task consisted of tests to identify suitable environments for sacrificial alloys. In the second task, two bridges with a zinc sacrificial anode in the Florida Keys were inspected and tested. Data on anode current output, anode and cathode potential, and anode and cathode depolarization were recorded.
