 note = {Sharp free edges of bottom flanges and bolted connections in steel bridges are known to be very susceptible to corrosion because securing a desired thickness of coating film is difficult at such locations. An accelerated exposure test was performed in this study to investigate corrosion resistance on plate edges with different corner geometries. Test specimens were coated with four types of paint coating systems including A, B, C, and I-paint systems and two types of metallic coating systems including zinc hot-dip galvanizing and zinc-aluminum alloys. Test specimens were exposed to the accelerated corrosion environments conforming to Japanese Industrial Standards K5621 for 200 days for metallic coating and 1,050 days for paint coating. Based on the initial coating thickness at corners and corrosion that occurred on the edges in the accelerated tests, anticorrosive performance of different corner geometries was evaluated for various coating systems. A rounded corner had good performance for all the coating types examined in this study when compared with other corner geometries.},
