Experimental Corrosion Tests on Weathering Steel Bridges

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper introduces the experimental corrosion tests that are carried out on the existing weathering steel bridges in the Czech Republic. The influence of the position and location of the surface in the structure on the resulting corrosion rates can be evaluated using this experimental testing. Typical surfaces of steel bridges are tested, e.g. webs of main girders, upper and lower surfaces of flanges, surfaces affected by leaking salt solutions. The corrosion tests to study the relation between steel grade (weathering steels S355J2WP and S355J2W) and corrosion rates are introduced in this paper as well.
