Test results to evaluate the mechanical properties of epoxy-coated bars and corrosion protection characteristics of epoxy coating on the bars are described. The results show good adhesion and abrasion resistance satisfying the requirements in relevant standards. The test results also show that for a coating thickness ranging from 150${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, satisfactory results are obtained regarding bendability. Cautions shall be required when bending epoxy-coated bars at a high bending degree and at a low temperature. The results of accelerated corrosion tests show good corrosion resistance. However, surface defects from the steel itself and insufficient blast-clean process form weak points resulting blistering or disbonding of the coating. The use of epoxy-coated bars is expected to help protect corrosion of reinforcement and extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures.

In recent years, plenty of problems in the large-scaled bridges, piers…have been reported to the public due to the severe environment factors. The use of Epoxy-Coated reinforcement against salt and sulfate corrosion is considered as a reasonable solution and tested to study the bond performance between the thickness of coating and bond stresses. The results are that the strength of bond was decreased by 10 to 13 percent in the case of 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ of coating thickness and by 15 to 25 percent in the case of 200$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 300$\mu\textrm{m}$ and significantly fell down when the thickness was above 300$\mu\textrm{m}$. Accordingly, a 200$\mu\textrm{m}$ coating-thickness to the reinforcement is suggested to maintain the acceptable bond mechanism and goes well with the ASTM(item NO.A775) and those of Korean Concrete Institute.
