Estimating Phase Durations for Chloride-Induced Corrosion Damage of Concrete Bridge Decks in Utah... more Estimating Phase Durations for Chloride-Induced Corrosion Damage of Concrete Bridge Decks in Utah Kaylee Dee Bateman Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, BYU Master of Science Chloride-induced deterioration of concrete bridge decks can be described in terms of three phases: 1) initiation of rebar corrosion, 2) rust formation and development of deck damage, and 3) accelerated deck damage towards structural failure. The first objective of this research was to investigate relationships among chloride concentration at the top mat of reinforcing steel, deck age, cover depth, and occurrence of delamination for concrete bridge decks with selected surface treatments and rebar types. Relating these factors can help establish greater understanding about the duration of each phase of the deterioration process. A second objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between chloride concentrations that develop between the bars and those that develop directly above ...
