This paper addresses both safe cathodic protection limits for pre-stressing steel in concrete given the concern of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and the adequacy of cathodic protection using established criteria. Impressed current cathodic protection was applied to laboratory scale pilings at current densities ranging from...
