  A Review Paper on Durability Study on Steel Structure Joints against Corrosion by Using Natural Pigment
  Author(s): Manikandan R*
  
  Since the 1970s, research projects and field studies have been conducted on different methods for protecting corrosion damage. The methods include alternative reinforcement and slab design, barrier methods, electrochemical methods, and corrosion inhibitors. Each method and its underlying principles are described, performance results of laboratory and/or field trials are reviewed, and systems are evaluated based on the results of the trials. Using performance results from the studies and costs obtained from transportation agencies, an economic analysis is used to estimate the cost of each system over a 75 year economic life using discount rates of 2%, 4%, and 6%. Epoxy-coated reinforcing steel is the most common corrosion protection method used in the United States today. Although controversial in many areas, epoxy-coated reinforcement has performed well in many.. Read More»
