Corrosion Federal Highway Administration

The most recent study was conducted by CC Technologies Laboratories, Inc. (circa 1999 to 2001), with support by the Federal Highways Administration and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, International. The results of the study show that the (estimated) total annual direct costs of corrosion in the United States are 276 billion, i.e., about 3.1 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). That... [Pg.3]

Corrosion, the degradation of a material s properties or mass over time because of environmental effects, is a costly reality that effects every industry. A study issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 2002 conservatively estimates the annual direct cost of corrosion in all U.S. industry sectors at US 276 billion. Costs associated with corrosion include cathodic/anodic protection coatings inhibitors corrosion-resistant alloys and materials and maintenance, repair, and depreciation of equipment. Indirect costs, such as lost productivity, environmental or product contamination, planning and design, and lost opportunities, can easily outpace direct costs by factors of two or more. [Pg.782]

Work at the Federal Highway Administration laboratories showed that for hardened concrete subject to externally applied chlorides, the corrosion threshold was 0.20 percent acid-soluble chlorides. The average content of water-soluble chloride in concrete was found to be 75 percent to 80 percent of the content of acid-soluble chloride in the same concrete. ... [Pg.97]

My day job is as a civil service electrician for the last thirty-four years at the Veteran s Administration hospital. March 5, 2006,1 had thirty-four years with civil service. After duty at the VA hospital, all the rest is a volunteer as a firefighter, rescue worker, or helping the county sheriff and the State Highway Patrol as an interpreter. Basically, I stay pretty busy. The federal government gave us three fire vehicles after the chlorine gas incident because our old equipment was done-in by corrosion caused directly by poison chlorine gas. This gas took the paint and chrome off our fire vehicles so it was unusable for any other purpose what do you think it did to my lungs and body at the same time ... [Pg.24]
