Monitoring Corrosion Resistance in Bridge Deck Reinforcing Steel: Field Investigation
This paper presents a study that investigated the use of corrosion resistant reinforcing steel in the deck slab of two newly constructed prestressed concrete girder bridges. The decks of the two bridges were constructed with two different types of steel; one with 'Micro-composite Multi-structural Formable Steel', and the other with epoxy-coated mild reinforcing steel. During the construction of the bridges, embeddable sensors were installed on selected reinforcing steels in the bridge decks to identify signs of corrosion initiation and severity. Using a conventional voltmeter, data were recorded, by measuring DC voltage and DC current, periodically to assess and compare the performance of reinforcing steel in terms of corrosion resistance. Overall field investigation consisted of construction documentation, and during- and post-construction monitoring of the bridges. A summary of the field investigation and its monitoring results are presented and discussed.
