Research and development of cathodic protection systems for reinforced concrete bridge decks has been shown to be a feasible corrosion control method. Other corroding portions of bridge structures required development of different materials and application methods. This paper presents laboratory and field research initiated in 1975, required to develop this capability. Materials such as conductive concrete, conductive coating and platinum-niobium anode wire are discussed. Various methods of application to concrete surfaces are discussed. Data from in-service applications in Florida are presented.
