68 Available Technologiess In an effort to optimize steel bridge structure design, industry offers various options for corrosion control of steel bridges which offer varying combinations of durability, cost, aesthetics, service life, and other characteristics. The technical literature generally addresses "coated steels" and "uncoated steels" separately, and coated steel bridges can be further divided between liquid coatings and metallic coatings (e.g., galvanizing and metallizing)

Conclusions 69 Metallic coatings such as galvanizing and metallizing are well-established technologies that are seeing increasing use on steel bridges in the United States. They are essentially coating techniques but involve different design and technical considerations than liquid coatings.

70 Corrosion Prevention for Extending the Service Life of Steel Bridges be attractive for structures in severe environments, with long life expectancies, or with limited access for future maintenance. For the Bridge Maintainer The current state of the practice for maintaining uncoated weathering steel bridges involves cleaning and inspecting on a regular basis.

Conclusions 71 • Improved methodologies for life-cycle planning, risk management, and financial planning for the preservation of corrosion-prevention systems. These methodologies would help owners justify preservation needs, allow them to demonstrate the value of executing preservation activities, and help them optimize their preservation practices.
