Evaluation of Epoxy Coated Reinforcing Steel in Bridge Decks
This report presents the evaluation of the effectiveness of epoxy coated reinforcing steel in bridge decks. It describes the procedures applied to evaluate the effectiveness. A comparison of the cost per pound of epoxy coated reinforcing steel which includes cost of steel, coating, shipping and placing in bridge decks, is made with the conventional steel. Electrical resistance and potential readings were observed each year for five years and are included in this report. Also chloride ion content analysis on Category I bridge decks was made which indicated that the concentration at the rebar level has not reached to the threshold level of active corrosion. Condition surveys of all the Category II bridge decks were done each year and no sign of deterioration has been noticed so far, i.e., scaling and spalling. Some hairline cracks were noticed which have been explained in the report.
