Abstract
Weathering structural steel has been used for various outdoor load-carrying structures (even without anti-corrosion surface protection) in the world as well as in the Czech Republic for about 45 years [1, 2, 3]. Load-carrying structures are designed for service life of as many as 100 years and the weathering steel can be used as a standard structural material without any corrosion protection. The weathering steel is able to create a protective patina layer on the surface in favourable environment; it means suitable atmospheric and structural conditions. A lot of constructions built from the weathering steel in the Czech Republic have been assessed and inspected in last few years. This paper describes the new developed method for experimental measuring of real corrosion losses on typical surfaces of bridges.
