Abstract
An anodic boot for the protection of steel reinforcement in concrete support structure from corrosion. The boot includes flexible panel means having first and second sides, at least one side of which is conductive polymer, and means for affixing the ends of the panel means about the circumference of the concrete support structure, maintaining the first side in contact with the exterior surface of the concrete support structure. By connecting the reinforcing bars to the negative side of a D.C. source and placing the positive side into the water surrounding the concrete support, a cathodic reaction occurs.
