CTU 73. Inhibiting Chloride-Induced Corrosion in Concrete BridgesThe use of de-icing salts can significantly reduce the service life of concrete transportation structures by causing corrosion of the reinforcing steel. This Update provides guidance on controlling corrosion, drawing on a ten-year NRC-IRC study to assess the performance of eight commercial corrosion-inhibiting systems on a concrete highway bridge.
