Abstract:Increasingly, the corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel has been identified as a leading cause of structural damage and failure associated with bridges in Texas. In particular, bridge corrosion refers to the scaling, cracking, and delamination of the concrete. This document presents the results of a literature review conducted by the researchers to identify alternative methods by which to control bridge column corrosion among new and existing bridges. Specifically, the researchers investigated the literature on concrete modifications and reinforcement bar treatments. In terms of implementation, the findings of this review could be used to identify ways of reducing the corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel that can cause structural damage to Texas bridges.
