Review of Cathodic Protection Systems for Concrete Structures in Australia
Impressed current cathodic protection (CP) for reinforced concrete structures is a proven technology which can provide long term corrosion prevention solutions for marine structures. This technology has been employed on a large number of concrete structures in Australia over the past 30 years and ...
Cathodic prevention and cathodic protection of new and existing concrete elements at the Sydney Opera House NACE, USA, 1997
As a part of a major rehabilitation programme of the Sydney Opera House, cathodic prevention and cathodic protection systems were installed to protect new precast elements, the soffit and piers under the western broadwalk. The CP installation was carried out using a grid anode installed in the new ...
The Electrochemical Desalination of a Coastal Road Bridge , RILEM, Australia, 1998
A significant number of Australia’s road bridges are located in coastal regions and hence subject to aggressive environmental conditions through direct contact with salt water and indirectly through wind borne salts. This paper describes the electrochemical ...
Cathodic Protection to the Port of Brisbane Structure, NACE, USA, 1999
Electrochemical treatment of reinfmced concrete structures has been used extensively in Australia This paper will describe one of the largest cathodic protection systems for reinforced concrete structures in Australia. The area of the cathodic protection (CP) system for the Port of Brisbane is ...
Cathodic Protection Criteria and Practrical Completion Issues for CP of Reinforced Concrete Structures, NACE, USA. 2000
Cathodic protection of steel in concrete has emerged in the last 10-15 years from being an experimental method to a well-established technique to combat reinforcement corrosion, particularly chloride-induced corrosion. Various organisations have produced sets of criteria against which the performa ...
Strategy for monitoring the long term corrosion performance of Queensland main roads concrete infrastructure ACA, Australia 2005
A range of Queensland Main Roads concrete structures have been instrumented with linear polarisation resistance (LPR) probes to determine the long-term durability performance of repair solutions in two cases and in another case put into a new ...
Application of Cathodic Prevention to Sea Cliff Bridge Lawrence Hargrave Drive, ACA, Australia, 2006
Chloride-induced corrosion can have severe impacts on the integrity of reinforced concrete structures and can dramatically shorten their service. Cathodic Prevention (CPrev) is an effective electrochemical method used to prevent the initiation of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures in marine ...
Performance of Cathodic Prevention System of Sydney Opera House Underbroadwalk After 10 Years of Operation, NACE, USA, 2006
Cathodic prevention (CPrev) of reinforced concrete structures is used to improve the corrosion resistance of reinforcement for marine structures that are expected to suffer from chloride-induced corrosion during their service life. As a part of a major rehabilitation programme to the Sydney Opera ...
Cathodic Protection of a Multi-Storey Building, Method of Project Delivery and Long-Term Maintenance, ACA, Australia, 2007
The Trident Building is a 15 storey apartment complex situated on a beach frontage in the Sydney suburb of Manly. As a part of a major building refurbishment during 1996-1997, cathodic protection repair was carried out to selected elements of the building. The refurbishment work included major ...
Durability Issues Associated with the Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures in Marine Environments, Chennai, India, 2010
