Abstract:

In 1981, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications initiated a research program aimed at developing an effective method of repair for bridge substructures. Cathodic protection was identified as the most promising repair method available, and the emphasis of the program was placed on field testing. Eleven experimental systems, at two sites, were designed, installed, and monitored over the period 1982 to 1986. The effectiveness of the corrosion protection offered to the embedded steel, the cost and ease of installation, and the durability of the components were evaluated for each system. Anode materials used included conductive paints, conductive polymer, carbon fibers, zinc ribbon anodes and flame-sprayed zinc, and anode meshes of conductive polymer and of titanium. Updated in this paper is information on the Burlington Bay Skyway test site given in earlier publications and also described are installations at the Leslie Street test site. Installation of the first permanent substructure cathodic protection system covering one complete pier of the Burlington Bay Skyway, carried out under contract in 1986, is also discussed.
