Corrosion Control: Reinforced and Pre-stressed Concrete

Course Description:

This course summarizes the results of various research investigations in developing and evaluating the performance of various corrosion protection systems. This course describes materials and measures that can be used for corrosion control in reinforced and pre-stressed concrete bridge structures in new construction. This course will be of interest to materials and bridge engineers, reinforced concrete corrosion specialists, and those concerned with the performance of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete bridges.

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Summary of the effects of material variables on concrete properties and corrosion behavior
• Identify the ACI-recommended chloride limits for new construction
• Discuss the grout mix proportions for Classes A, B, and C.
• Describe the calcium nitrite dosage rates
