Zinc anodes to control bridge deck deterioration
Abstract
The use of sacrificial zinc ribbon anodes is discussed for cathodically protecting the reinforcing steel in a bridge deck, thus controlling spalling. After three years the zinc anodes were found to be capable of protecting only a 7.62 cm wide strip each side of the anodes.
