Corrosion Test about Interference of Cathodic Protection Systems in Marine Concrete Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

When unprotected structures are nearby to CP systems, interference problems between unprotected and protected structures may be occurred. The stray current interference can accelerate the corrosion of nearby structures. During a recent few decades the protection technologies against stray current induced corrosion have been significantly improved and a number of techniques have been developed. However, there is very limited information in marine environments. In this study, cathodic protection systems installed both the ICCP with Ti-mesh anode and the SACP with zinc anode has been adopted to verify the current influence through laboratory experiment. CP potential and current have been investigated, moreover, 4 hour depolarization test has been involved to reveal the effectiveness of cathodic protection.
