      <title>COATINGS ADHERENCE MEASUREMENT BY AN ANGULAR SCRIBE- STRIPPING TECHNIQUE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/110083</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ADHESION IS OF FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF APPLIED ORGANIC COATINGS, AND YET THERE HAS BEEN NO SATISFACTORY METHOD FOR MEASURING THIS PROPERTY QUANTITATIVELY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY ON PRACTICAL SUBSTRATES. PRACTICAL MEASUREMENTS ARE BEING MADE OF COATING-SUBSTRATE ADHERENCE, USING A SIMPLE ANGULAR SCRIBE-STRIPPING TECHNIQUE SUITABLE FOR EITHER THE LABORATORY OR THE FIELD. EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CONFINED TO METAL PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS, HOWEVER, THE METHOD MAY BE APPLICABLE TO COATINGS ON CERTAIN NONMETALLIC SUBSTRATES. THE TECHNIQUE YIELDS A DIMENSIONLESS ADHERENCE NUMBER THAT IS INDEPENDENT OF FILM THICKNESS, IS RELATIVELY INSENSITIVE TO OTHER FILM PROPERTIES, AND CORRELATES VERY WELL WITH ADHERENCE RANKINGS DETERMINED BY THE QUALITATIVE KNIFE TEST.]]></description>

      <title>PROTECTION OF STEEL BY METAL COATINGS --CORROSION IN CIVIL ENGINEERING. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE HELD IN LONDON, FEBRUARY 21-22, 1979</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/296699</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Steel -cheap, strong and versatile -is widely used in civil engineering; metal coatings of zinc or aluminium economically prevent the steel from rusting.  About 2000000 tonnes of zinc, 20000 tonnes of aluminium and 4000 tonnes of cadmium are used each year for coating steel throughout the world.  Zinc is applied mostly by hot dip galvanizing. Electroplating or mechanical plating (of zinc or cadmium) and sherardizing (with zinc) are used on smaller parts. Both aluminium and zinc are applied by metal spraying. Details are given of the properties of the metal coatings and examples are quoted to show performance in practice and the economic advantages.(a) for the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 812503.]]></description>

      <title>ACRYLIC LATEX COATING FOR RESISTANCE TO ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION TO METAL SURFACES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/45371</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Recommendations are presented for the use of these coatings, which accumulated experience indicates, have corrosion protective capabilities and may be used as substitutes for alkyd or other solvent coatings in atmospheric service.  This report on latex maintenance systems covers latex primers, latex topcoats, and self- priming latex systems applied over metal surfaces and over previously painted surfaces.  Latex maintenance primers are specially formulated (with one or more rust inhibitive pigments) to give corrosion protection over ferrous metals.  Latex coatings should be stored above 32 F and below 120 F.  Comments are made on choosing the surface, surface temperature and moisture, and surface preparation.  The method of application including film thickness, dry time, coverage and thinning and cleaning equipment are covered.  Adhesion to plant construction materials, flexibility of the film, curing of the film, weatherability and chemical resistance are also discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of latex coatings are listed.]]></description>

      <title>PAINT SYSTEMS FOR HIGHWAY STRUCTURAL STEEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/22420</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A ten-year investigation of metal protective paint systems for highway steel structures was carried out.  A total of over 100 paints, including 40 primers, was used.  Field exposure data on 501 panels over a five-year period involved three test fences with various environments: (1) marine, (2) humid inland, and (3) mild urban.  Parallel laboratory studies included characterization, development of an "accelerated environmental chamber," degradation tests, and usefulness of electrical techniques to measure capacitance- water absorption and polarization-corrosion inhibition. Ancillary studies included painted bridge panels under seacoast and inland environments and a water tank.  Visual observation of panels and observer-assigned "grades," from 10 (perfect) to 1 (failure), as to appearance and integrity, permitted evaluation of the performance and estimated "service life" of the paint systems.  All data were arranged for computer documentation, and input, storage, updating, retrieval, processing and special data reduction programs were developed.  Galvanized steel, zinc-rich paints, a cement/oil primer with alkyd finish, zinc dust or zinc/chlor. rubber, or zinc dust oil, primer with aluminum/tung oil phenolic finish, gave superior performance under aggressive sea coast environments.  The computer data base system developed is recommended for adoption or adaptation throughout the U.S.  The accelerated environment chamber merits consideration by any paint laboratory in its studies.  The electrical techniques investigated are appropriate to research and development studies.  The data contain much material of direct and indirect application to operational functions of a highway department.  Several new paint specifications were developed.]]></description>

      <title>AGUADA BLANCA ROCKFILL DAM WITH METAL FACING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/25239</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The discusser observes that in his experience, rockfills have attained pronounced settlements in a downward diagonal direction toward the toe, continuing for years and amounting to several feet in fills of commensurate size.  In the Orkney Causeways, Scapa Flow, which were constructed of loose dumped rockfill clothed with heavy concrete blocks on the slopes as wave protection, heights were up to 60 ft and public roadways were built across the tops.  The maximum top settlement, 2 yr after completion was 32 in. at the deepest point.  Settlement appeared to be related to the square of depth.  The maximum harizontal movement at the crest was 29 in. in 2 years.  Both movements continued and aggravated the misalignment of the roadways that ultimately after several years had to be entirely reconstructed. Comparable settlements are described which occurred in dams in the western U.S. and elsewhere.  The settlements are considered to have been caused by crushing for rock points bearing upon others throught the dam, which then allows the rocks to move toward the void spaces.  It has been common practice to sluice the rock with monitors and sprinklers as it is being placed, the purpose water throught the construction perid.  More recently it has been found feasible to compact large rockfills by mechanical means (rollers).  These procedures have been accompanied by a marked reduction of subsequent settlements and movements.]]></description>

      <title>THE CORROSIVENESS OF MUSKEG WATERS: A REVIEW</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/139626</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Muskeg waters are generally acidic and potentially corrosive to concrete and metal structures. The amount of dissolved salts and free carbon dioxide in the water is an important factor in its aggressive attack on concrete. Although pH measurements are not the only criterion of aggressiveness, they are a reasonable indication in many instances of potential severity. A good defence against an aggressive environment is a high quality, very dense concrete. High alumina concrete and air-entraining agencies provide further protection in extremely aggressive environments. Surface treatments of concrete have not proved to be very successful over a long period of time. Corrosion of metals in a muskeg environment is an electrochemical action; the type and rate of corrosion are functions of the property of the metal as well as the soil and water conditions. Factors such as dissolved salts, pH, total acidity, resistivity, aeration, and presence of anaerobic bacteria influence corrosion. Optimum protection to metals in an aggressive environment is provided by a combination of a surface coating and cathodic protection. /AUTHOR/]]></description>

      <title>ACCELERATED ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/134758</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report provides a description of the design and operation of an accelerated corrosion environmental chamber for metal protective paints and a discussion of the findings of experiments designed to test the reproducibility of results in the chamber and limited available direct correlations with data from an exterior weathering test fence at a tidal estuary in Brunswick, Georgia. The major conclusions reached were that the environmental chamber exhibits high precision of test results within runs and an exceptionally close similitude in a greatly accelerated test to the modes of panel failure observed in the field. The prospects for close lab-field correlation appeared very good, but, for general use, such correlation was seen to require control system techniques which have been proposed but not yet validated with comprehensive experimental studies.]]></description>
