N2 - This paper describes the repair, instrumentation and onsite monitoring of a reinforced concrete bridge located in a marine environment in the South East of Ireland. The paper also describes an experimental study underway at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland which is being carried out in conjunction with the onsite monitoring. The marine bridge in question, located at Ferrycarrig, Co Wexford, is 126m long and was constructed in 1980. In 2007 following an inspection and assessment process it was decided to carryout extensive repairs on Ferrycarrig Bridge. These repairs afforded an opportunity to instrument the bridge crosshead beams to monitor the ingress of chloride ions and rates of corrosion. Five different methods were employed in the repair of the crosshead beams in a move aimed at securing information necessary for optimisation of future repairs of structures in this type of aggressive environment. The first phase of the associated experimental study at Trinity College Dublin is described in this paper together with the repair and instrumentation of Ferrycarrig Bridge. The latest results from the onsite monitoring system are also presented.
