Report

In 2008, a report sponsored Virginia Transportation Research Council was published that reached conclusions regarding the manufacture and durability of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel. However, review of this report found that that many of the conclusions reached by the authors of that report cannot be supported and inappropriate techniques were used to evaluate the extracted bars. Despite concerns, the report indicates that epoxy-coated reinforcing steel continues to perform well at high chloride contents.
