- Synopsis
- In order to confirm the corrosion of embedded connection in prestressed concrete bridges with corrugated steel webs, accelerated corrosion experiment was carried out with the specimens modeled from the connection. As a result, the durability of embedded connection is increased by sealing the interface between steel and concrete and increasing the depth of painting into concrete.
