SPR-4121: Pack Rust Identification and Mitigation Strategies for Steel Bridges
The proposed research will study the development of pack rust in Indiana steel highway bridges and investigate possible repair methodologies. Specific areas of interest are the frequency of occurrence of pack rust in steel highway bridges in Indiana, locations and types of bridges where pack rust has been observed to occur, and repair or mitigation procedures that have been developed and implemented in other state DOTs and other industries.
