Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Background
  • Corrosion Issues
  • Cost to United States Infrastructure US276
    Billion, 3.1 GDP (1998)
  • Limited Education

5
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Chemistry
  • Unique Redox Cell
  • Base Steel is Anode Cathode
  • Anode
  • Location of Steel releasing e-
  • Apparent Loss of Steel
  • Cathode
  • Location of Steel accepting e-
  • Apparent Rust
  • Oxygen
  • Electrolyte -- Cl- and other salts

6
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Corrosion Situations
  • 1 Atmospheric Zone
  • Moderate Corrosion
  • Low-High Cl- High O2 Low Moisture
  • De-icing Salts

  • Variable Cl- Low O2
  • 5 Mudline Zone
  • Low Corrosion
  • Variable Cl- Low O2

7
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Corrosion Situations
  • General
  • Uniform Easily seen
  • Expected
  • Usually slow process
  • Localized
  • Particular Can be difficult to see
  • Attempt to avoid
  • Variability in speed
  • Types
  • Crevice
  • Pitting
  • Granular
  • Other

8
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Corrosion Situations
  • Type Crevice Corrosion
  • Microclimate
  • Lack of Oxygen initiates Cathode/Anode split
  • Uneven Attack
  • Initiation Theories
  • 1 Critical Crevice Solution (CCS)
  • Generation of Chemical species in Crevice
  • Transportation out of Crevice
  • 2 Critical IR Drop Model (IR)
  • Geometry and Conductivity
  • Current generation and Crevice resistance

Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Maintenance Strategies
  • Predictive
  • Planned Mitigation
  • Preventative
  • Inspection and Maintenance
  • Corrective
  • Wait until Corrosion Presents
  • Patch-work type scheme

10
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Corrective Measures
  • Paint Coating
  • Inhibitive, Sacrificial, Barrier
  • Touch-Up Painting
  • Simple
  • Little Preparation
  • Not too Disruptive
  • Routine Inspection
  • Moderate Longevity
  • Overcoat Painting
  • Large Undertaking
  • Preparation
  • Disruptive
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis Important
  • Long Longevity

11
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Corrective Measures
  • Recoat Painting
  • Large Undertaking
  • The Most Preparation
  • Disruptive
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis Important
  • Greatest Longevity
  • Do-Nothing Approach
  • Social and Economic Issues
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis Very Important

12
Steel Bridge Corrosion Issues
  • Corrective Measures
  • Hot-Dip Galvanization
  • CSA G164
