• The goal: design for service life.
• Use of a rational approach to design and quantify service
life

Project Requirements
• Service life requirements well defined, for each
component:
– A minimum service life in years
– Durability criteria
– End of service life definition provided

Structural Steel Components
• Weathering steel: 100 year service life
– end of service life means any "fair" condition state on
any components or cracks
– structural design allows for corrosion loss up to 10%
of cross section
• Coatings: 25 year service life
– end of service life means any fair condition state
defects
– type of coating system specified
– locations of coatings specified: deck level up to 3m,
within 3m of expansion joints15

Service Life Assessment of Steel Structures
• Define exposure zones for superstructure steel
components
• Develop exposure zones that related to ISO 12944:
international standard on corrosion protection of steel
structures by protective paint

Design
• Estimation of corrosion section loss
– ASTM G101-04 (2015) "Standard Guide for
Estimating the Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance of
Low-Alloy Steels".
• Estimate of coating service life
– “Expected Service Life and Cost Considerations for
Maintenance and New Construction Protective
Coating Work”, NACE (National Association of
Corrosion Engineers) International paper 08279,
2008*
*New Paper is no.7422, 201623

Design
Project Requirements: for truss lower chords - sections will be sized
so that estimations of corrosion loss over service life do not exceed
10% of the cross section required for structural capacity.

Conclusions
• The superstructure steel components of Parkway Bridge
and Traffic Bridge have been designed for a 100 year
service life
• Definitions of exposure zones consistent with ISO 12944
• Choice of mitigation methods:
– corrosion allowances based on ASTM G101
– coating service life based on NACE paper 08279
