As a means to assess achieving intended service life on marine exposed bridge structures, corrosion of steel reinforcement was monitored on selected laboratory specimens for several years and on other specimens for a few months.
As a mean to assess achieving intended service life on marine exposed bridge structures the corrosion propagation stage was investigated. Corrosion of the steel reinforcement during the corrosion propagation was monitored on selected laboratory specimens for several years. The specimens were prepared with 2 inches of concrete cover and low water to cementitious (i.e. 0.41). Chloride was not present initially. An electric field was applied to drive the chlorides and reach the rebar depth until it exceeded the chloride threshold. Linear polarization tests have been monitored for over 3 years on eight specimens and for a shorter period (approx. six months) on six other specimens. The proposed study will assist in providing the Florida department of transportation with guidance as to how fast the corrosion rate will be at various chloride concentrations for rebars embedded in concrete. With these corrosion rate values it would be possible to obtain estimations on how long it would take before cracks appears
Key words: Concrete Cover, Corrosion Propagation Period, Corroding Length, fatigue
Control of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures including prevention protection and mitigation. Applicability considerations for the life cycle of the structure and use of proactive maintenance will also be presented.

This work seeks to determine the performance of cathodic prevention (CPrev) and cathodic protection (CP) systems applied to cracked concrete in a simulated marine environment.
A case study of a major CP system operating in Australia for 15 years and proposal of a series of changes to current practices which can be considered for implementation in the design, installation and monitoring stages of new impressed current cathodic protection systems in concrete.
