The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) issued a contract on cathodic protection of reinforced concrete bridge elements. The objective of part of that contract was to investigate the feasibility of improved and simplified control criteria. To this end, corrosion rates of steel in a concrete environment were measured relative to many factors, and then, data were used to appraise control criteria. This technical alert presents the results and recommendations based on that part of the work.
