Abstract:In reinforced concrete systems, ensuring that a good bond between the
concrete and the embedded reinforcing steel is critical to long-term structural
performance. Without good bond between the two, the system simply cannot
behave as intended.
The bond strength of reinforcing bars is a complex interaction between localized
deformations, chemical adhesion, and other factors. Coating of reinforcing bars,
although sometimes debated, has been commonly found to be an effective way to
delay the initiation of corrosion in reinforced concrete systems.
For many years, the standard practice has been to coat reinforcing steel with
an epoxy coating, which provides a barrier between the steel and the corrosive
elements of water, air, and chloride ions
