Discrete Galvanic Anodes Design

How to Use Galvanic Anodes to Extend the Life of New Concrete Structures Galvanic anodes in a brand-new structure? Thinking ahead about corrosion allows asset owners to be prepared for its eventuality while also removing the otherwise unavoidable repair cost and downtime. George Sergi, the father of the original embedded galvanic anode for concrete, has prepared a How-to presentation for identifying high-risk elements and utilizing maintenance-free galvanic protection to extend the service life of concrete structures without the need for repair. This presentation is most beneficial for those currently specifying systems, those new to the industry or with a general interest in galvanic technology. 0:00 Intro 3:47 Outline 5:11 Leicester Bridge Data Review 10:28 Anode Consumption over 25 years 12:28 Effect of Temperature 16:25 Anode Activation Methods 18:17 Design Parameters 23:28 Calculating Current Density 25:57 Helm & Raupach research findings 32:37 Steel Density Calculations 36:28 Corrosion Control Design 42:27 Designing for New Construction 48:25 Where to Apply CP & Project Examples 52:13 Q&A
