Durability of steel reinforced concrete in chloride environments: An overview
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report recent advances in the knowledge base relevant to the durability of steel reinforced concrete in chloride environments, including: the role of mineral admixtures in concrete durability, the methods of measuring the chloride ingress into concrete, the challenges in assessing concrete durability from its chloride diffusivity, and the service life modeling of reinforced concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the performance and corrosivity of chloride deicer solutions: Laboratory investigation and quantitative modeling
TL;DR: In this article, artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used to establish predictive models and quantify such cause-and-effect relationships, and the established ANN models were then used for numerical investigations on the parameters affecting the deicer properties and for quality assurance of deicers.
Investigating longevity of corrosion inhibitors and performance of deicer products under storage or after pavement application.
Xianming Shi,Laura Fay,Keith Fortune,Robert Smithlin,Matthew Johnson,Marijean M. Peterson,Andrew Creighton,Zhengxian Yang,Doug Cross +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of deicers under storage or after pavement application and found no significant degradation of corrosion inhibitors or loss of chlorides during the months of field storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longevity of corrosion inhibitors and performance of anti-icing products after pavement application: A case study
Xianming Shi,Xianming Shi,Keith Fortune,Laura Fay,Robert Smithlin,Doug Cross,Zhengxian Yang,Jianlin Wu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the performance of corrosion-inhibited anti-icing products after pavement application during winter storms and found that more than 62% of the inhibitor in the CCB anti-icer and more than 20% of chlorides (especially for FreezGard and NaCl+GLT) could remain on the pavement four days after the application of liquid anti-icers to treat black ice.
Replacing thermal sprayed zinc anodes on cathodically protected steel reinforced concrete bridges.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address questions underlying the replacement of arc-sprayed zinc anodes on cathodically protected steel reinforced concrete bridges and develop a protocol to prepare the concrete surface for the new anode, through a combination of literature review, practitioner surveys, laboratory studies, and field investigation.
