Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., performed an in-depth field investigation into the performance of epoxy-coated reinforcing bars in four bridge decks. The study included two decks built on steel girders and two built on precast concrete girders. Two decks had been overlaid with a 2-in. low slump overlay. The bridges were all built between 1973 and 1978. Visual crack and delamination surveys were performed. Core samples were drilled for determination of chloride concentrations and to examine the embedded steel. Polarization resistance, half-cell, and AC impedance measurements were taken, but were not conclusive. Further development is needed. Laboratory testing included inspection of the coating, holiday and thickness tests, coating adhesion tests, and underfilm contamination. The decks without overlays have chloride levels near the top bar level sufficient to corrode black steel or damaged sites in epoxy-coated steel. The decks with overlays have much lower chloride contents. The chloride was very high at crack locations causing significant corrosion of some epoxy-coated bars and a few small delaminated areas. The importance of improved quality control in manufacturing and installation of epoxy-coated steel is evident. Some maintenance of the decks not having overlays is recommended.
