Appendix D Highway Bridges
By: Mark Yunovich, Neil G. Thompson PH.D., Tunde Balvanyos, PH.D., and Lester Lave PH.D.

Example: "The dollar impact of corrosion on highway bridges is considerable. The annual direct cost of corrosion for highway bridges is estimated to be $6.43 billion to $10.15 billion, consisting of $3.79 billion to replace structurally deficient bridges over the next 10 years, $1.07 billion to $2.93 billion for maintenance..."

Evaluation of Sprayed-On Metalizing for Preacast Prestressed Concrete I-Beams
By: Mark Gawedzinski, P.E.

Example: "Cathodic protection has been used as an effective means of arresting corrosion in reinforced concrete. Active systems (impressed current) as well as passive systems (galvanic) have been used to reduce the effects of corrosion. Impressed current systems use external power to drive ion exchanges causing a..."

Field Thermal Spraying (Metallizing) Structural Steel
Effective January 28, 2005

Example: "This work shall consist of the preparation of all designated metal surfaces by the method(s) specified on the plans in the General Notes. This work also includes the application of a thermally sprayed metallic coating (metallizing) of those designated surfaces with the metallizing system(s) specified on the plans..."

Steel Bridge Protection Policy
Volume III of V. Metalization of Steel Bridges: Research and Practice
by: Luh-Maan Chang and Maged Georgy, May 1999

Example: "The study identifies various painting systems that are successfully used in Indiana’s surrounding states and other industries. The identified systems are further screened and evaluated. After prudently comparing INDOT’s inorganic zinc / vinyl system with the waterborne acrylic system, the moisture...."

Thermally Sprayed Metal Coatings to Protect Steel Pilings: Final Report and Guide
National Cooporative Highway Research Program: Report 528

Example: "This literature included performance data in technical papers and reports and specifications for the application of TSMCs.
This literature was sorted, and the most relevant reports were
reviewed. Of primary interest were data related to the performance
of TSMCs in natural waters,..."

DOT Coats Rusting Bridges with Layers of Problems
Zine Metallizers Task Group

Example: Armed with Buckers of coorosion resistant paints that are either experimentally unproven or environmentally unsound, state and Federal Dept. of Transportation (DOT) officials are playing a rust-and-crumble game of bridge maintenance. More than half of the nation's 577,000 bridges require immediate repairs totally more than..."
