Guidelines for Detection and Remediation of Soluble Salt Contamination Prior to Coating Steel Highway Structures by Elzly Technology Corporation Pdf
Consolidates practical guidance on the detection and remediation of soluble salt contamination prior to coating steel highway structures. Soluble salts are those that dissociate in solution into anionic and cationic components. The soluble salts referenced in this guideline are soluble in water at nominal room temperatures. Soluble salts may be transferred to a steel bridge structure as an airborne aerosol (generally from marine or industrial sources), wind-blown debris, and debris transferred from vehicles or rainwater. In many cold climates, the most common source of soluble salts on bridges is deicing materials. The report presents a brief background on soluble salts as well as information in the form of responses to a series of practical questions that an inspector, contractor, or designer may pose. Appendices B through D of the report are also available in PowerPoint format.
