摘要: As part of continuous efforts to identify effective and durable anodes for use in cathodic protection (CP) of reinforced concrete bridge members, a water-based, electrically conductive paint was evaluated for use as the secondary anode in CP systems for inland concrete piers. The paint was used in two CP systems - one designed and built approximately 6 years ago and the other 8 years ago - to protect the concrete piers of two pairs of twin bridges in Virginia. When adjusted properly, the two systems provided more than sufficient protection to the reinforcing steel. Natural paint deterioration occurred in both systems. In the 8-year-old system, this deterioration ranged from 0 to 0.37%. In the 6-year-old system it ranged from 0 to 0.14%. Most of the deterioration occurred at the ends of the pier caps, where the concrete is not sheltered from rain by a deck overhang. The overall performance of the conductive paint in these CP systems was better than expected. Its effectiveness could last for at least 15 years, even longer if minor paint deterioration is touched up as early as possible. This type of conductive paint should, therefore, be considered a suitable secondary anode for use in CP of inland concrete piers.
