  Harbor facilities are generally classified as steel-structured and reinforced concrete according to constructing materials. Because of exposure to marine aggressive environment all year long, facilities are easily corroded, deteriorated and damaged. Their deterioration and safety have been much concerned than ever. Based on physical requirement, this study is especially focused on the durability on steel-structured and the reinforced concrete structures.

  In order to meet the practical anti-corrosion demand, the second-year study was divided into three sub projects: Field Investigation on Ports Sheet-Piles Situations and Corrosion Prevention Strategy, Anti-Corrosion Draft Establishment, and Durability and Testing on Reinforced Concrete. The results indicated that steel-piles corrosion rates at Keelung, Taichung, and Ann-Ping Ports were small with no severe defects on surfaces, but a little more corrosion rates for up to 0.1mm/yr. were obtained at Taipei Harbor. Corrosion prevention criteria were revised partially. As to concrete, self-compacting concrete performed excellent workability and enhanced durability.
