This technical report presents state-of-the-art information on several commercially available galvanic cathodic protection/preventio
n systems for protecting atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures. The information contained in this report has been provided by key manufacturers of these systems and is intended as a technical resource for engineers responsible for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures. It may also be useful to owners, contractors, and other practitioners related to the field of galvanic cathodic protection (CP). All information related to galvanic CP is intended for atmospherically exposed concrete structures and may not be applicable to concrete containing epoxy-coated reinforcing steel, galvanized, or other coated or nonferrous reinforcement.
Key Words: Cathodic protection, galvanic, sacrificial anode, reinforced concrete, metallized coating, TG 557
