Details
TRB conducted a webinar on Tuesday, December 6, 2016, from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET on the use of cathodic protection to preserve a bridge or extend its service life. By applying a small amount of direct current to a bridge’s steel, cathodic protection can potentially protect a bridge in corrosive environments where routine maintenance activities, such as deck cleaning, joint sealing, and bearing lubrication, may not be enough. This webinar featured different cathodic protection systems and several case studies.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committees on Bridge Preservation. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.

Here are the slides.
