The purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of corrosion of steel plate deck longitudinal U-ribs and to investigate the reinforcement method. It was confirmed that the corrosion of the longitudinal U-ribs occurred due to penetration water of the bolt hole of the shear key used in construction. The longitudinal U-ribs which were corroded were stiffened by attaching reinforcing plates, and finishing treatment was performed to prevent the surface water from flowing into the inside.

The durability of the steel structure can be affected by atmospheric corrosion environments as temperature, humidity, airborne salt etc.. However, atmospheric corrosion environments can be locally changed depending on structural condition and shape. To estimate the local atmospheric corrosion environments depending on structural member exposed to the marine environment, corrosion level of structural member in steel bridge was examined from exposure tests.

Steel water gate can be vulnerable to corrosion problem, since it is generally contacted with water or maintained with relatively high humidity condition. In this study, to evaluate the level of corrosion damage of water gate, corrosion exposure test was conducted using monitoring steel plate and monitoring sensor in actual steel water gate. From exposure test results, corrosion rate and corrosion environment were examined depending on the height or the structural type of water gate.

The method of lowering the diffusion coefficient of concrete are widely used by mixing blast furnace slag(BFS) and fly ash(FA) in order to prevent the steel corrosion. In this study, the NaCl solution was supplied and the potential of the reinforced steel was monitored to measure the critical chloride contents of the reinforced concrete according to the type of concrete. In case of using BFS and FA, it showed that the corrosion of the steel was progressed rapidly, which is considered to be related to the decrease of the pH of the concrete.

For steel structure, corrosion problem can be a major maintenance area. Even with the same steel structure, corrosion damage can be changed depending on the location and form of thes structural member. In this study, rherefore, In order to evaluate the relative corrosion enviornmnet depending on the installed condition of the structural steel member, the corrosion deterioration environment was monitored for the large-size steel frame structure.

Corrosion durability of steel member can be related to its installed environmental conditions such as relative humidity, rainfall, atmospheric temperature, and air pollution(SO2, chloride). Also its installed environmental condition may differ depending on the shape of structural member. Therefore, In this study, to evaluate the difference in the corrosion damage according to the installation environment of steel structural members, outdoor exposure test was carried out from attaching unpainted monitoring plate and atmospheric corrosion monitoring sensor for actual steel bridge with various structural detail.

The deterioration areas were measured depending on corrosion cycle. The deteriorations of newly-built coating were compared with those of re-coating.

Background : Corrosion is one of the most devastating problems faced by most industries. Mild steel has played a vital role in various fields due to the excellent mechanical properties of mild steel such as low density, high strength-to-weight ratios, good environmental stability, high thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Methods and Results : The total phenolic contents (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) of the methanolic extract of C. grandiflora and R. verniciflua leaf have been examined, and its corrosion inhibition performance was investigated by weight loss and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization measurements. The surface morphology of mild steel was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The percentage composition of polyphenolic compounds was found to be higher in C. grandiflora and R. verniciflua plant extracts, and it was proved to be a superior, eco-friendly, and anti-corrosive inhibitor for mild steel in 1M of H2SO4. The Tafel polarization studies indicate that the plant extract is a mixed-type inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy/energy -dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies confirmed the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. The corrosion inhibition of the C. grandiflora and R. verniciflua plant extracts was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-visible spectra, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies; these show the strong interaction between the metal surface and the inhibitor. Conclusion : The methanolic extract was prepared the two different plants like C. grandiflora, and R. verniciflua was studied the corrosion inhibition on the mild steel specimen in acidic medium through various methods involving weight loss measurements, EIS, and potentiodynamic polarization. The results shows that the C. grandiflora, and R. verniciflua plant extracts illustrate an effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel with good anticorrosion properties in acidic environmen

To ensure the safety of weathering steel structures, it is important to evaluate the time-dependent corrosion behavior. Thus, progress and effect of corrosion damage on weathering steel members should be evaluated, but predicted corrosion depth do not go far enough until now, which is affected by the corrosion environment. In this study, the corrosion resistant of weathering steel was examined to quantifiably investigate and compare the corrosion depth of carbon and weathering steel.

Road bridges are affected by de-icing chemicals, which are used to prevent snow and ice on the road. Corrosion of steel girders due to de-icing chemicals are becoming common problems. The deterioration of steel girder ends due to deck joint leakage and occasional spray from passing vehicles usually cause section losses and strength reduction. This report presents th results of a study carried out to repair corroded steel box girder bridge.

To properly maintain steel structures, it is important to investigate the corrosivity of structural member. In this study, atmospheric exposure tests were carried out for 1 year using monitoring steel plates (MSP). In addition, atmospheric corrosion environment were also monitored by temperature and humidity sensor, corrosion monitoring (ACM) sensors, etc.

Steel is a common structural material that is used for bridges, buildings, railroad tracks, wind towers, offshore platforms, and many other applications. Steel naturally corrodes in different atmospheric environments, which results in costs for corrosion protection, prevention and maintenance. The corrosion on steel elements is identified by optical examination, which does not provide information on the material characteristics. Studies have shown that Raman spectroscopy can identify the corrosion products of steel and differentiate between iron oxides and hydroxides. The purpose of this experiment is to validate the use of Raman spectroscopy in accurately identifying corrosion material on steel without a protective coating.

A cartridge type sensor head was fabricated to detect the level of corrosion in steel cables with consistent or varying cross sections by assessing the LMA (Loss of Metallic Area) damage. Two coil sensor cartridges were made to cater to cables with up to 70mm and 150mm. The developed system was verified through lab experiment using a tapered steel cable specimen, and through a field test conducted in cable bridge. The result showed that the developed system is capable of assessing a cable with varying cross section.

The volume expansion of corroded steel reinforcement produces tensile stress on the surrounding concrete, which causes splitting cracking of concrete cover, and deteriorates the service ability and durability of reinforced concrete(RC) members. In addition, since the steel corrosion induces bond strength degradation between steel bar and concrete, the structural performance of RC members can be deteriorated significantly. In this study, the theoretical study was performed to probe the mechanism of the bond strength reduction due to steel corrosion. The bond strength between corroded steel bar and concrete was calculated by mathematically formulating the expansion pressure of corroded steel reinforcement. The proposed model was verified by comparing with the existing test results, and it showed that the proposed model estimate the bond strength reduction of corroded RC elements very closely.
