Abstract

The feasibility of electrochemical chloride removal and concurrent protection as a rehabilitation option for concrete bridge structures was investigated. Chloride removal process procedures were developed, and the effects of the process on structure concrete integrity and reinforcing steel were studied. This report discusses the laboratory evaluations of this process.
