ABSTRACT

The field study involved panels produced using the more promising inhibiting methods identified in the laboratory study. A total of 25 concrete panels were fabricated and installed at the field site at Pier 38 in Honolulu Harbor one week after concrete placement. Each panel was suspended in the seawater such that the bottom of the panel was always submerged, the middle of the panel was in the tidal zone, while the top of the panel was above the highwater level. Results reported in this paper are based on field observations after 8 years of exposure. A comprehensive final report on the project is currently being prepared.
