摘要: Epoxy-coated reinforcing bars have been used in the US for over 35 years and according to National Bridge Inventory are now 65000 bridge structures. Significant field laboratory research has conducted on these their performance. This indicates that performance of is dependent quality coating, amount damage availability exposed metal support a cathodic reaction. The paper presents review information methods optimize products demonstrating high can be obtained at low initial life-cycle cost.
