• 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.
