To assess the risk of environmental hydrogen embrittlement cracking to other A354 Grade BD anchor rods
do this...
Measure H concentration in the failed rods, near the fracture and
in the top ends

Neutron Tomography Gamma-Ray Activation
generate 3D maps of hydrogen concentrationacross the entire rod cross-section

all tHat IS requIred:
3-millimeter thick discs
specimens from both ends of the S1 & S2 rods & from any other rods that are available

These studies using neutron imaging to measure hydrogen content in A354
Grade BD steel fasteners of this size have not been done!
It will be invaluable, not only for theSAS Bay Bridge but for infrastructure
projects around the world!
