The types of bridges to be addressed are reinforced concrete, steel, and pre-stressed concrete/post-tensioned and pre-tensioned bridges. Design and new construction are also considered.
What is the damage evolution/life prediction for long-term reliability and durability assessment, design and materials selection?
What are the corrosion issues and how can these be modeled for individual corrosion damage modes and full systems?
How do we incorporate corrosion mitigation into design, construction and rehabilitation?
What do other technologies/communities need from corrosion subject matter experts (SME) to move their developments forward?
What do corrosion SMEs need to know to make their work more relevant and implementable?
What are the latest advanced materials, processes and protection methods?
What advances from various classes of materials and processes could have major impact?
For given applications, what developments, testing and validation are needed for implementation?
