Abstract Details are presented on the planning, design and installation of corrosion protection facilities to provide 100-year design life for a 7-mile, 22-inch steel pipe sewer outfall, the outer end of which is in ocean water 340 feet deep. The outfall serves the sewerage systems of Los Angeles and 16 other adjacent municipalities. An impressed current cathodic protection system is used to protect the exterior of the pipe which is wrapped with a multiple-layer coal tar coating reinforced with glass fiber with bonded impregnated asbestos felt shield. A reinforced pneumatically applied cement mortar jacket provides negative buoyancy. Interior is protected by centrifugally-spun mortar lining with epoxy sleeves at welded tie-in joints. Because of the depth of water in which the pipe was to be placed several novel features were necessary. Cathodic protection was applied continuously during installation by the use of zinc anodes. This system was monitored to detect any serious coating holiday before the pipe was laid in deep water. Permanent test leads also were attached to the pipe so performance of the impressed current system could be checked, continuously. After 1½ years' operation there has been very little change in effective coating resistance, a pipe potential of —1.05 volts versus a copper/copper sulfate electrode being maintained with consumption of about 150 ma. 5.2.3

Organic coatings are widely employed in the corrosion protection of most metal surfaces, particularly steel. They provide a barrier against corrosive species present in the environment, due to their high resistance to oxygen, water and ions transport. This study focuses on the evaluation of corrosion protection performance of epoxy paint on the carbon steel surface in chloride environment (3% NaCl) by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical behavior of painted surface was estimated by EIS parameters that contained paint film resistance, paint film capacitance and double layer capacitance. On the basis of calculation using EIS spectrums it was observed that pore resistance (Rpore) decreased with the appearance of doubled layer capacitance (Cdl) due to the electrolyte penetration through the film. This was further confirmed by the decrease of diffusion resistance (Rd) which was also the indicator of the deterioration of paint film protectiveness. Microscopic analyses have shown that oxidation dominates the corroded surfaces.

Corrosion of reinforcement is an important durability concern for the structures exposed to coastal regions. Since corrosion of reinforcement involves long periods of time, impressed current technique is usually used to accelerate the corrosion of reinforcement in laboratories. Characterization of impressed current technique was the main focus of this research,which involved determination of optimum chloride content and minimum immersion time of specimens for which the application of Faraday’s law could be efficient. To obtain optimum chloride content, the electrolytes in the corrosion cell were prepared similar to that of concrete pore solutions. Concrete prisms of 200 mm by 200 mm by 300 mm were used to determine the minimum immersion time for saturation. It was found that the optimum chloride content was 35 gm/L and the minimum immersion time for saturation was 140 hours. Accounting the results, a modified expression based on Faraday’s law was proposed to calculate weight loss due to corrosion. Journal of Engineering Science 11(1), 2020, 93-99
