Materials and methods for corrosion control of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures in new construction / by Smith, J. L.(CARDINAL)710268; Virmani, Yash Paul.(CARDINAL)317090; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Infrastructure Research and Development.(CARDINAL)286889; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Southern Resource Center.(CARDINAL)320199; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 75-78).Introduction -- Corrosion process -- Corrosion control measures -- General design provisions -- General construction provisions -- Concrete -- Prestressed concrete -- Post-tensioned concrete -- Grouts for bonded post-tensioned concrete -- Test methods for bonded post-tensioned concrete -- Corrosion inhibitors -- Field performance of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel -- Corrosion-resistant reinforcing bars -- Summary -- References.Final report.Salt-induced reinforcing steel corrosion in concrete bridges has undoubtedly become a considerable economic burden to many State and local transportation agencies. Since the iron in the steel has a natural tendency to revert eventually to its most stable oxide state, this problem will, unfortunately, still be with us, but to a much lesser degree due to the use of various corrosion protection strategies currently used in new construction. The adoption of corrosion protection measures in new construction, such as the use of good design and construction practices, adequate concrete cover depth, low-permeability concrete, corrosion inhibitors, and coated reinforcing steel is significantly reducing the occurrence of reinforcing steel corrosion in new bridges.
