Financial resources for maintenance of coatings systems for owners of steel bridges are at a premium. Therefore, it is imperative to prioritize and choose the scope of services for maintenance painting of these structures in the most efficient manner. This paper will present the fundamental steps necessary for a detailed condition assessment of the existing coatings of steel bridges.
Financial resources for maintenance of coatings systems for owners of steel bridges are at a premium. Therefore, it is imperative to prioritize and choose the scope of services for maintenance painting of these structures in the most efficient manner. This paper will present the fundamental steps necessary for a detailed condition assessment of the existing coatings of steel bridges. These steps include reviewing background information and field evaluation of the existing coating system. The various field test methods, to include determination of the extent of corrosion, measurement of dry film thickness, adhesion testing, laboratory testing and evaluation of coating defects, will be described. Lastly, interpretation of the data and life cycle cost analysis will be presented.
The drive to embellish and beautify our surroundings is a human motivation that bridges both culture and time. From vases to vaulted ceilings, across the globe we captivate ourselves with ornament, decorating the objects that we create, the homes we live in and the spaces in which we work and worship. Examples of decorative painting can be found from the earliest moments of man’s existence and have evolved throughout history in synchronicity with our life styles; expressing our tastes, our status, our standards and values.

This paper describes the results of a research study to determine the effectiveness of various rehabilitation materials and techniques for concrete bridges. This work reflects the needs for identifying effective materials and techniques to offer protection against corrosion of steel in concrete as well as patch repair in concrete girders.
In this study, a new portable garnet blasting unit targets for weld joints in W.B.T. was developed. The field data clearly indicated that the potable garnet blasting method can be a valuable tool for small damaged area and weld seam in confined area with increase in the blasting productivity by 20%. In order to predict and optimize the pressure drop and air consumption in air blasting system, semi-empirical equations have been developed
