Abstract:

Epoxy coated deck reinforcement was evaluated during the construction of two bridges on Rte. I-77 in Carroll County. The contractor was favorably impressed with the coated steel, which sustained no damage during shipping or deck construction. Among the data collected were resistivity and potential readings, initial chloride contents of the deck concrete, and unit costs. It appears that the epoxy coatings had many small bare spots and other flaws that were not effectively patched at the site. Further evaluations after the bridges are opened to traffic and subjected to applications of deicing salts are recommended.
