  • Transport of chloride ions during accelerated cathodic protection of reinforced concrete structures

    Creator:
    Rehani, Manu
    Abstract:
    Chloride ion migration was studied under accelerated cathodic protection conditions using 6" x 6" x 6" mortar blocks of varying initial chloride content and water to cement ratios. An iron mesh embedded parallel to one face in the blocks acted as the cathode and zinc was thermally sprayed on the...

  • Electrochemical modeling of cathodic protection systems applied to reinforced concrete structures

    Creator:
    Muehlenkamp, Erik B.
    Abstract:
    A numerical model for the cathodic protection of steel in reinforced concrete is developed. Parameters are set to represent a three-dimensional section of a bridge beam exposed to the atmosphere and coated with a thermally sprayed zinc anode. Both diffusion of oxygen and conduction of charge within the concrete are...

  • Evaluation of cathodic protection in reinforced concrete bridges

    Creator:
    Abooameri, Farid
    Abstract:
    Steel corrosion in reinforced concrete is a major concern to transportation agencies nationwide because of the expenses incurred for repair and ultimate shortening of bridge life. Cathodic protection (CP), as a remedy, has been applied to reinforced bridges in the US since 1974. However, application of this technique is largely...
