Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe pipeline sections projected to exhibit wire breaks were detected - and one not so - were excavated, removed, inspected, and dissected. Corrosion had initiated upon the inner surface of shorting straps and spread to the prestressing wires. A mechanism for this corrosion is presented and the findings discussed.
As part of qualifying a prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) pipeline for possible cathodic protection, six sections that were projected from prior eddy current testing to exhibit wire breaks and one for which no breaks were detected were excavated, removed intact, inspected, and dissected. It was disclosed that corrosion had preferentially initiated upon the inner surface of longitudinal shorting straps and spread from these to the prestressing wires. Left unaddressed, the corrosion would eventually lead to pipe rupture. A mechanism for this corrosion is presented, and the findings are discussed within the context of utility and effectiveness of cathodic protection for PCCP.
Key Words: Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe, corrosion, cathodic protection, longitudinal shorting strap, chlorides, carbonation, prestressing steel wire.
Chloride induced corrosion is recognized as a significant disease in the nation's concrete infrastructure. This paper will provide an overview of the various corrosion mitigation techniques available and then focus on two innovative methods of using discrete anodes embedded within the concrete to provide corrosion protection to existing structures.

Results of inhibitor performance at slug flow in a 101.6 mm inner diameter horizontal pipeline. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electrom microscope (SEM) techniques are used to reveal that the strong bubble impact, high shear stress and turbulent intensity are the reasons for a poor performance of inhibitor.
