Damage of concrete with epoxy coated reinforcement due to corrosion, freeze-thaw and fatigue with application to bridge decks
The deterioration of reinforced concrete bridge decks due to corrosion of the steel bars is a common problem. Epoxy coated reinforcement (ECR) is known to perform better than plain (black) steel, but the appropriate maintenance schedule for ECR bridge decks is not well established. The goal of this …
