Project Reviews
Basic Components and its working:
1)Superstructure or decking component
2)Bearings
3)Substructure Component
Piers:
The piers are vertical structures used to support the bearings
provided for load transmission to underground soil through
foundation. These structures serve as supports for the bridge
spans at intermediate points.
Ueli M. Angst Challenges and This paper summarizes the grand related to
opportunities in corrosion corrosion of steel in concrete, andpresents
of steel the state-of-the-art of the most relevant
in concrete issues in the field.
➢ Epoxy coatings are 100-percent solid, dry powders. These dry epoxy powders are
electrostatically sprayed over cleaned and preheated steel reinforcing bars. The
coatings achieve their toughness and adhesion to the steel substrate as a result of a
chemical reaction initiated by heat. These epoxy powders are thermosetting
materials and their physical properties do not change readily with changes in
temperature.
The coating process consists of several steps:
1)Steel reinforcing bars move along powered rollers at speeds of 6 m/min to more than 15 m/min
(20 to 50 ft/min).
2) The bars are blast-cleaned with grit or shot in a grit-blasting booth to a near- white blast as
specified in the Society for Protective Coatings Specification
3)In some plants, the bars pass through a pretreatment application unit where a pretreatment
solution is applied, the excess is removed, and the bars are dried prior to leaving the unit.
4)The bars are then heated very rapidly (within 1 to 3 s) to 246EC (475EF) as they pass through an
induction coil.
5)As the bars enter the spray booth, epoxy powder is electrostatically sprayed onto the bars by
stationary automatic spray guns. When the powder hits the hot bars, it melts and becomes fluid to
form a smooth coating.
6)After the bars leave the powder-coating booth, the ambient air begins to cool them. The coating
continues to cure due to the heat retained within the bars. The powder coating is formulated to be
tough enough not to be marked by the rollers while it is curing. The line speed is adjusted so that
the coating has enough time to fully cure.
7)The bars are then either sprayed with cold water or completely immersed in water to cool the
bars so that they can be handled.
8) When the cooled bars reach the end of the line, they are automatically lifted off of the rollers
and stacked.
These are some advantage of using ECR:
