Corrosion of reinforcing steel bar is a significant cause of concrete failure, caus- ing expensive repairs and premature structure replacements. Galvanizing provides proven cor- rosion protection for reinforcing steel significantly extending the life of concrete bridge struc- tures. Whether applied by the traditional batch hot dip process or the new continuous galvaniz- ing process, zinc coatings protect reinforcing steel both as a barrier coating and as a sacrificial anode. The properties of galvanized reinforcing steel and its contribution to improvement of concrete performance of bridges will be presented together with the status of related product standards. |
