DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT Oregon has a spectacular\, rugged coastline graced by 
 a majestic collection of internationally recognized bridges designed by Or
 egon’s State Bridge Engineer\, Conde B. McCullough\, between 1919 and 19
 36. McCullough’s bridges are noted for their innovative engineering and 
 intricate Art Deco detailing. Oregon DOT has undertaken restoring these hi
 storic bridges and applying thermal-sprayed zinc anodes that provides cath
 odic protection (CP) to the rebar while retaining the bridge surface detai
 ls. A multidisciplinary preservation engineering team provides specificati
 ons to restore the bridges to their original form and insure the effective
  application of the CP. The Team then monitors the installation and operat
 ion of the CP systems to ensure adequate protection of the rebar. The expe
 cted life of the zinc anode is 25 years and may be reapplied indefinitely 
 for extended protection.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Scott Atkinson\n\nSpeaker(s):
