Evaluating Methods for Corrosion Control in Concrete Bridges. Putting Research to Work Brief
Corrosion of the steel reinforcement in concrete bridges is a primary cause of the deterioration and early aging of these bridges across the United States. In Wisconsin and other Snow Belt states, the problem is exacerbated by routine winter road salting, which causes high levels of chloride to percolate into the concrete; this significantly increases the rate of corrosion of the steel reinforcement.
