EXPERIENCE WITH CATHODIC PROTECTION IN MISSOURI

Robert J Girard

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete bridge decks in Missouri has developed rapidly because of the significant number of all concrete structures, such as box beam, box girder, voided, and flat slab, that are in need of roadway surface repair. Various cathodic protection systems have or are being used in these rehabilitation efforts. As a result of Missouri's experience with cathodic protection systems an awareness has developed of the need for close inspection during placement and continued evaluation and monitoring during operation. Maintenance requirements may not totally cease simply because cathodic protection has been placed on a structure.
