| Abstract: |
The stay cables are usually subjected to continuous erosion from the environment in their service period. The protective layer on the cable wire is an important barrier for the cable corrosion resistance. Therefore, the durability of the cable depends greatly on the proper selection of the protective layer, which makes a big difference comparing with the bare cable wires. This paper studies on the corrosion performance of 6 common kinds of cable steels under the same corrosion environment with electrochemical test methods. The corrosion rates of different kinds of steel bars under various covers are tested and obtained. The results can provide more accurate reference for the designers of cable stayed bridges to selecting a proper kind of cable wires during the bridge construction or maintainers to estimate the durability of the stayed cables. |
