The primary function of an epoxy coating is to act as a barrier to prevent corrosion-causing chloride ions and oxygen from reaching steel surfaces. For more than a decade, epoxy-coated reinforcing steel has generally been effective in reducing or preventing chloride-induced corrosion in bridges and other concrete structures. Recently, however, instances of corrosion problems or premature failures in Florida, Oregon and New York have focussed attention on the product and its quality. This report was initiated as a result of the questions raised by these failures. In the first section of the report, a state of the art review of epoxy-coated reinforced steel is presented. It details the research performed on epoxy coating, and the results of this research both in the lab and in the field. As well, the authors highlight several areas to be considered for future investigation. The second section examines the fundamentals of epoxy, and the coating process. It provides an overview of the theory, technology, testing and practice as these presently exist for fusion bonded epoxy coatings on steels. The significance of the tests available for use on epoxy-coated rebars and epoxy-coated pipe is described. The report contains numerous figures.

It has long been recognised that corrosion of steel is extremely costly and affects many industry sectors, including concrete construction. The cost of corrosion of steel reinforcement within concrete is estimated at many billions of dollars worldwide. The corrosion of steel reinforcement represents a deterioration of the steel which in turn detrimentally affects its performance and therefore that of the concrete element within which it has been cast. A great amount of work has been undertaken over the years concerning the prevention of corrosion of steel, including the application of coatings, which has included the study of the process of corrosion itself, the properties of reinforcing steels and their resistance to corrosion as well as the design of structures and the construction process. The objective of fib Bulletin 49 is to provide readers with an appreciation of the principles of corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete and to describe the behaviour of particular steels and their coatings as used to combat the effects of such corrosion. These include galvanised reinforcement, epoxy coated reinforcement, and stainless reinforcing steel. It also provides information on the relative costs of the materials and products which it covers. It does not deal with structure design or the process of construction or with the post-construction phase of structure management including repair. It is hoped that it will nevertheless increase the understanding of readers in the process of corrosion of reinforcing steels and the ability of key materials and processes to reduce its harmful effects.

Eco-efficient Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Infrastructures, Second Edition provides an updated state-of-the-art review on the latest advances in this important research field. The first section is brought fully up-to-date and focuses on deterioration assessment methods. Section two contains brand new chapters on innovative concrete repair and rehabilitation materials including: fly ash-based alkali-activated repair materials for concrete exposed to aggressive environments; repairing concrete structures with alkali-activated metakaolin mortars; concrete with micro encapsulated self-healing materials; concrete repaired with bacteria; concrete structures repaired with engineered cementitious composites; concrete repaired by electrodeposition; the assessment of concrete after repair operations and durability of concrete repair. The final section has also been amended to include six new chapters on design, Life-cycle cost analysis and life-cycle assessment. These chapters include maintenance strategies for concrete structures; a comparison of different repair methods; life cycle assessment of the effects of climate change on bridge deterioration; life-cycle-cost benefits of cathodic protection of concrete structures; life-cycle cost analyses for concrete bridges exposed to chlorides and life-cycle analysis of repair of concrete pavements. The book will be an essential reference resource for materials scientists, civil and structural engineers, architects, structural designers and contractors working in the construction industry. - Presents the latest research findings on eco-efficient repair and rehabilitation of concrete infrastructures - Provides comprehensive coverage from damage detection and assessment, to repair strategies, and structural health monitoring - Diverse author base offering insights on construction practice and employed technologies worldwide - Includes a section on innovative repair and rehabilitation materials, as well as case studies on life cycle cost analysis and LCA
