Characteristic of CP Potential for Concrete Pile Specimen with Hybrid CP

Abstract

This study represents the result of hybrid cathodic protection (Hybrid CP) system application. Hybrid CP, which is the combination between sacrificial anode cathodic protection (SACP) system and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system, can be optimum way to protect corrosion, especially in concrete columns. In this study, sections below a water line, i.e. submerged and tidal zones, were cathodically protected by means of SACP. In addition, ICCP was applied to the upper areas of water line, i.e. splash and atmospheric zones. Water level was changed to verify the effectiveness of hybrid CP system. The test factors were natural, CP, and 4-hour depolarization potential.
