Bolted joints in steel structures contain multiple crevices between the bolted members and the fasteners that are typically more susceptible to corrosion than flat surfaces, and difficult to properly coat. This article will evaluate the effectiveness of various coating practices at mitigating corros...

It is not uncommon during the course of abrasive-blast surface preparation to overblast and create a blast profile that is over and above the defined specification. This article describes a study that takes a closer look at the topography of a surface (before and after reblasting an over-blasted pro...

Steel reinforced concrete bridge components are deteriorating prematurely, especially in marine and snow/ice zones of the U.S. The primary cause of this deterioration is chloride intrusion into the concrete. The authors discuss research that has shown that penetrating sealers can provide some protec...
