242-What Every Engineer Should Know About Reinforcement Corrosion in Concrete Highway Bridges

This course provides a summary of a topic that is much in the news — the incidence and causes of the deteriorating condition of an important segment of the physical infrastructure in the United States - concrete highway bridges. In these structures the primary cause of damage is corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement. The course condenses selected information from (20) cited engineering standards, articles and government reports to supply an overview of the topic.

Included are the ways corrosion damage occurs, control methods by which corrosion can be minimized for new construction and during remediation along with several techniques used to assess the extent of existing corrosion damage. The types of construction discussed are traditional rebar in concrete and prestressed bridge members — both pre and post-tensioned. The causes of problems with coated structural steel in bridges that are fully exposed to the atmosphere are briefly reviewed. Much of the information is applicable beyond bridges to other reinforced concrete structures that may experience corrosion of embedded reinforcement.

The learning objectives are to allow professional engineers to gain a basic understanding of how corrosion in reinforced structures occurs and how it may be assessed and controlled.

The course is most suitable for civil, structural and transportation engineers plus persons in other engineering disciples that plan and supervise construction and remediation of concrete structures in which corrosion may be an issue.
