Chlorides and Bridge Deck Deterioration
As a result of a recent bridge deck study and other related work, a mathematical expression was derived which describes the distribution of chloride in concrete as related to depth below the surface in bridge deck concrete. The validity of the expression is supported by a similar distribution of salt found in piles submerged in bay water. Steel was removed from one bridge deck and corrosion loss measured. While not structurally significant, the corrosion that had occurred was more than necessary to cause extensive cracking of the concrete. Half-cell potential measurements were made on sections of two bridge decks. They show that corrosion activity of the steel can be nondestructively detected by electrical measurements. (Author)
