 note = {Deterioration due to corrosion of steel bridge piers built the marine and coastal environment is a serious problem in the maintenance of steel bridges. For effective and rational maintenance of steel bridge piers, corrosion characteristics of submerged steel member should be investigated. In order to investigate corrosion characteristics of steel in the under-water environment, a standard method of an accelerated exposure test has been proposed by Japanese Society of Civil Engineers. In this study, for making the accelerated exposure test more efficient, a large size accelerated exposure test apparatus based on the standard one was newly developed. For verifying the performance of the new test apparatus, a series of tests on a typical structural steel was carried out. Furthermore, tests under the same conditions were performed on the fillet welded joints for examining corrosion characteristics of welded parts. As a result, scarcely any difference could be confirmed between corrosion characteristics of steel plates and welded parts. The corrosion rate by the test was 20 times as high as that of the actual underwater environment., 9th German-Japanese Bridge Symposium, September 10-11, 2012, Kyoto, JAPAN (GJBS09)},
