This study is to acquire the confirmation data regarding the cathodic protection (CP) characteristics for slabs in marine bridges and piers exposed to hash seawater environments. It was possible to confirm the performance of CP only by the measurement of CP potentials for the slab specimens applied with zinc mesh sacrificial anode CP system. The CP current density for the cathodic protection (CProt) that CP started after a repair of corrosion was 2 times higher than that for the cathodic prevention (CPrev) that CP commenced from the beginning of experiment, and the most of protection current density (87.0-91.5%) flew to the closer top rebar in slab specimens. 4 hour depolarization potentials were higher in the CPrev system than in the CProt one, and it was confirmed that the CPrev has more protection effect with less protection current, comparing to the CProt. It was also confirmed that the CP of both CPrev and CProt by means of zinc mesh sacrificial anode for reinforced concrete structures were very effective corrosion protection technology in marine environment.

Cathodic Protection System

Cathodic protection is defined as a method for slowing down or complete elimination of corrosion processes on underground or underwater, insulated or uninsulated metal structures. Protection by cathodic protection system is achieved by polarizing protected object to more negative value, with respect to its equilibrium potential. Design of the cathodic protection system implies determination of the electric potential and current density on the electrode surfaces after installation of the cathodic protection system. Most efficient way for determination of the electric potential and current density in the cathodic protection system is by applying numerical techniques. When modeling cathodic protection systems by numerical techniques, electrochemical reactions that occur on electrode surfaces are taken into account by polarization characteristics. Because of nature of the electrochemical reactions, polarization characteristics are nonlinear and under certain conditions can be time – varying (dynamic nonlinear polarization characteristics). This paper deals with numerical modeling of the cathodic protection system with dynamic nonlinear polarization characteristics. Numerical model presented in this paper is divided in the two parts. First part, which is based on the direct boundary element method, is used for the calculation of the distribution of electric potential and current density on the electrode surfaces in the spatial domain. Second part of the model is based on the finite difference time domain method and is used for the calculation of the electric potential and current density change over time. The use of presented numerical model is demonstrated on two simple geometrically examples.

In this paper, the sacrificial anode protection system for steel pile of Tripoli wharf (Lebanon) was studied. Optimal average protection current densities were selected for steel pipe/sheet pile of seaside zone back filled zone and sea mud zone. Based on field test and investigation, we found that the optimal average protection current density for seaside zone is 0.060 A/m2, back filled zone 0.030 A/m2 and sea mud zone 0.025 A/m2, respectively.

In this paper, combination of a boundary element formulation and genetic algorithm (GA) was developed and used for analyzing of cathodic protection systems of buried pipe-lines structures. It is very important to maintain the effectiveness of the cathodic protection system for pipeline structure, in order to lengthen the lifetime of the system. However, nowadays the evaluation of the effectiveness of the system only could be performed after the system applying in the field. This study was conducted to combine 2D boundary element method (BEM) and GA in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the cathodic protection system for pipe-lines structure using ribbon sacrificial anode. Two factors i.e. the soil conductivity and the distance between pipe-lines and anode, were analyzed by using the proposed method. In this method, the potential in the domain was modeled by Laplace’s equation. The anode and cathode areas were represented by polarization curves of different metals. Boundary element method was applied to solve the Laplace’s equation to obtain any potential and current density in the whole surface of the pipe. The pipe and anode were modeled into 2D model. The numerical analysis result shows that the optimum distance between pipe-lines and anode can be determined by combining BEM and GA.
