Performance Evaluation of 100-Year Coating Systems for Steel Bridges.
Project Information
The Federal Highway Administration will select and evaluate seven highly durable and less maintenance-required coating systems and two control systems. A total of 108 small size (6 x 4 inch) test panels and 27 large size (18 x 18 inch) test panels will be prepared and tested through accelerated laboratory testing and outdoor weathering testing at three exposure sites. Performance of the coating systems will be evaluated using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), surface failure characterizations, rust creepage at intentional scribes, pull-off adhesion, and changes of color and gloss.
