CORROSION OF EPOXY-COATED REBAR IN A MARINE ENVIRONMENT
In 1986 the first signs of corrosion of epoxy-coated rebar were observed in the Long Key Bridge Substructure. Further investigations revealed extensive corrosion of epoxy-coated rebars in four of the five major structures in the Florida Keys. A Task Force was established to investigate the problem by conducting in house research, contract research and a statewide survey of bridges with epoxy-coated rebar substructures. As a result of the investigation it was concluded that epoxy-coated rebar is unsuitable for marine splash zone corrosion protection.
