INVESTIGATION OF CORROSION PREVENTION METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF STEEL STRUCTURE CONDITION

Corrosion influences the service life of building materials and accordingly the service life of whole structures. In order to avoid corrosion activity it is necessary to separate the structures from the aggressive environment. It is very important to consider the materials, structure functions, environment and adequate protection against corrosion. The investigation has been made to develop a comprehensive expert system corrosion prevention method (ES-CPM), to establish the condition of corrosion protection on structures during their service life. New types of assessment have been proposed to create a uniform assessment of corrosion protection on structures, and an optimum procedure has been developed for its maintenance. An expert system has also been developed to select a corrosion protection system during the erection of steel structures and throughout their service life.
