REPLICATION OF EYE-BARS AND MEASUREMENT OF LOSSES IN CROSS SECTION DUE TO CORROSION

THE REMOVAL, BY HIGH PRESSURE WATER BLASTING, OF RUST ACCUMULATED BETWEEN THE EYE BARS AT PIN CONNECTIONS ON THE CENTRAL BRIDGE OVER THE OHIO RIVER AT NEWPORT, REVEALED CRITICAL DETERIORATION. THE PRODUCTION OF ACCURATE CASTINGS OF THE EYE BARS FROM IN-SITU MOULDINGS ENABLED MEASUREMENT OF LOSSES IN CROSS SECTION CAUSED BY CORROSION. /RRL/
