This paper presents the feedback of the Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system implemented on a road bridge, the Viaduct of Saint-Cloud, constructed in the 1970s in France. After a test trial in 2012, the full-scale ICCP system was energized in 2018. It consisted of 44359 discrete titanium anodes implemented on the lateral segment webs on both sides of the Viaduct, distributed in 212 anodic zones on one side and 153 anodic zones on the other side. The four years monitoring data include the variations of the applied current and tension on anodic zones, their polarization, etc. This paper focus on the global resistance of the circuit for the different anodic zones. The circuit resistance shows first the influence of the temperature. The differences between anodic zones and their evolution over time also bring more information about the environment of the anodes and the reinforcements. The analysis of the response of the circuit reveals the heterogeneity of an actual and large-scale ICCP system and provides important feedback to an appropriate ICCP design for durable cathodic protection.
