Abstract:Much infrastructure on Florida’s coasts relies
on steel-reinforced concrete that is exposed
to seawater. Corrosion of steel reinforcing bars
(rebar) in concrete exposed to seawater has
been documented as a major cause of bridge
deterioration. Therefore, the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) continuously investigates
the performance of concrete and steel in search
of materials and methods that will extend service
life and reduce maintenance costs.
In a series of tasks, Florida Atlantic University
researchers studied the performance of materials
that may prevent corrosion of steel-reinforced
concrete. The project was distinguished by the
range of materials and methods used on new
samples and on samples conditioned for years.
