Environmentally acceptable materials for the corrosion protection of steel bridges. by Kogler, Robert.(CARDINAL)863947; Mott, William.(CARDINAL)730227; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Engineering & Highway Operations Research and Development.(CARDINAL)286896; Ocean City Research Corporation.(CARDINAL)286950;
Background -- Objectives -- Technical approach -- Results and discussion -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for long term testing -- Appendices.Interim report;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.Performed by Ocean City Research Corporation, for Office of Engineering and Highway Operations R&D, FHWA, under contract no.

Effect of surface contaminants on coating life / by Appleman, Bernard R.(CARDINAL)310313; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Engineering & Highway Operations Research and Development.(CARDINAL)286896; Steel Structures Painting Council.(CARDINAL)288561;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 240-242).Introduction -- Review of previous work -- Developing methods for sampling and analyzing contaminants -- Field survey of bridge blast cleaning operations -- Screening tests on abrasives and their effect on coating performance -- Full-scale accelerated testing -- Summary and conclusions -- Appendices.Final report;This study investigated the influence of soluble salts on the performance and lifetime of protective coatings on steel bridges. Laboratory and field methods were established for measuring chloride ion, sulfate ion, ferrous ion, ammonium ion, conductivity and pH, and for extracting aqueous samples from blast cleaned steel. Aqueous samples were extracted from blast cleaned steel surfaces of 18 bridges and analyzed using the methods established. Comparisons were made among the level and type of salts (principally chloride and sulfate) and the type, structure, and environment of the bridges. Plates were blast cleaned with a variety of commonly used abrasives to determine the amount of salt transferred to the steel. The effect of those abrasives on the performance of several coatings was evaluated in a pressure immersion screening test.Performed by Steel Structures Painting Council for Office of Engineering and Highway Operations R&D, FHWA, under contract no.

The white coat investor's guide to asset protection : how to protect your life savings from frivolous lawsuits and runaway judgments / by Dahle, James M.,author.(CARDINAL)789058;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-205).Written by practicing emergency physician and creator of the most visited doctor-specific personal finance and investing website in the world, James M. Dahle, MD, The White Coat Investor's Guide to Asset Protection is a high-yield, no-nonsense manual that walks doctors and other high income professionals through the complicated subject of Asset Protection. Medicine, dentistry, and similar professions can be very rewarding, both emotionally and financially, but they carry legal risks that few Americans face. No doctor ever wants to harm a patient or anyone else, but many lie awake at night worried that one mistake could cause them to lose everything they have worked for decades to achieve. Meanwhile, financial advisors, insurance agents, and attorneys target physicians and capitalize on that fear in order to sell them services, insurance policies, or trusts that they probably do not need and that may not even work for their intended use. We live in a litigious society and malpractice lawsuits are not the only source of litigation risk. However, before you spend tens of thousands of dollars on a complex asset protection plan or worse, start practicing defensive medicine, read this book. Most asset protection books are written by attorneys as thinly-veiled advertisements that scare you into hiring them to create expensive, complex asset protection plans. Not this one. This one gives it to you straight. The White Coat Investor's Guide to Asset Protection gives you a realistic picture of the risks you face, walks you through a medical malpractice lawsuit, shows you the cheap and effective methods to protect your assets, and gives you an unbiased review of the more complex, expensive techniques and when they might be useful to you. Most importantly, the book recognizes that asset protection law (technically debtor-creditor law) is state-specific and provides a comprehensive listing of relevant asset protection laws by state. This compilation alone is worth the price of admission.

Effect of calcium nitrite on the properties of concrete used in bridge decks / by Ozyildirim, H. Celik(Hamdi Celik)(CARDINAL)311389; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
Includes bibliographical references (page 15).Final report;Chloride-induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel in bridge decks can impair its structural integrity and cause spalling, which reduces the ride quality of the deck. One system to prevent corrosion involves the use of corrosion inhibitors in freshly mixed concrete. This study evaluates the properties of field concretes containing the inhibitor, DCI (calcium nitrite) and assesses their field performance over a 3-year period. Comparative tests were made on a two-span bridge, one span of which had epoxy coated bars with regular concrete and the other uncoated bars with concretes containing DCI. The results indicate that the properties of the hardened concretes containing DCI were satisfactory and similar to those of the regular concretes. A conclusion on the effectiveness of DCI was not reached because of the limited time available; consequently, a follow-up evaluation is recommended. At present, the continued use of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel is recommended.Sponsored by Virginia Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.

Sprayed zinc galvanic anodes for concrete marine bridge substructures / by Sagüés, Alberto A.(CARDINAL)324809; Powers, Rodney G.(CARDINAL)314377; Florida.Department of Transportation.State Materials Office.(CARDINAL)324808; Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)298325; University of South Florida.Department of Civil Engineering and Mechanics.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 83-85.).Executive summary -- Introduction, objectives, and approach -- Procedure: Laboratory experiments -- Procedure: Field investigations -- Results: Laboratory experiments -- Results: Field investigations -- Discussion -- Conclusions -- References.A low-cost method for galvanic cathodic protection of reinforcing steel in concrete was examined. In this method, arc-sprayed zinc is deposited on the external concrete surface of steel-reinforced marine substructure bridge components, which are normally subject to corrosion of the reinforcement as a result of chloride ion contamination of the concrete. The concrete cover of corrosion-damaged substructure components is removed, exposing the reinforcing steel. After sandblasting, the zinc is arc-sprayed over the exposed steel and surrounding concrete, creating a 1/2 mm thick galvanic anode, which is in electronic contact with the steel and in electrolytic contact with the water in the concrete pores. In this investigation, the ability of the system to deliver protective current was examined by experiments in the laboratory and at field installations at bridges in the Florida Keys.
