Two new methods for designing pipeline cathodic-protection systems employ newly developed CP design software for marine pipelines. One method is based upon the recently developed Slope Parameter; the ...

This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...

Corrosion is a primary cause for in-service degradation of steel structures in T&D lines, sometimes assisted by mechanical and microbiological actions, depending on the nature of the service ...

As described in Chapter 2, metallic corrosion involves oxidation (anodic) and reduction (cathodic) half-cell reactions, where the metal oxidation reaction is the anodic reaction, and the reduction of ...
