Abstract:

Slowing the deterioration of steel infrastructure with safer, corrosion-resistant coatings is the goal of the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program project “Green Advanced Coatings for Application on Steel Structures and Bridges.” The project will also develop a model to assist bridge owners in setting optimal rehabilitation schedules for steel bridges. City College of New York is conducting this research, which was funded by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) in 2009.
