Darex Corrosion Inhibitor (DCI) was specified for use in the Dogfish Bay Bridge on SR 308 in Kitsap County. The bridge is a 90-foot long structure located within a tidal zone. The superstructure is an 18-inch deep prestressed concrete slab. The end piers and two intermediate piers each consist of six 16 1/2-inch prestressed concrete piles. DCI was added to all concrete used in the slab and piles except for four control piles (one in each pier). The supplier claims that the Calcium Nitrite contained in DCI will, when used as an additive in the recommended dosage, strengthen the passivating film around the reinforcing steel 'making it more resistant to chloride penetration,' thereby protecting the steel against corrosion. The process is explained in detail in Appendix A.
