General corrosion and crevice corrosion are the principal forms of corrosion observed on roadside infrastructure and metal bridges. ... Severe corrosion at riveted and bolted joints can cause tensile failures of fasteners because of corrosion product wedging (i.e., rust jacking). 3, record 1, English, - rust%20jacking

To avoid welding, [an] extension was joined to the old bridge by bolting. Rust was removed from the joining surfaces, and the extension was painted. Water penetrated the crack between the old and new surfaces and produced rust. As rust is more voluminous than the steel from which it is formed, the rust forced the two parts of the pipebridge apart—a phenomenon known as rust-jacking. 2, record 1, English, - rust%20jacking
