| Abstract: |
Weathering steel has a unique property of preventing rust by rust, and the use of unpainted weathering steel is important to reduce the life cycle cost of infrastructures. However, state of corrosion is different in different parts of bridge. Accordingly, evaluation for quantity of corrosion is needed at each part of the bridge. This paper discusses the relation between corrosion rate and airborne salt around bridge section, and proposes approach to evaluate corrosion rate by airborne salt. |
