Post subject: Epoxy coated rebar
Dear sefians
I received an assignment from my mgmt to submit a REPORT on 'Epoxy coated rebar'.
The details I am going present are provided below. Kindly provide your comments.
Epoxy Coated Rebar
Causes for steel rebar corrosion
Deterioration of Rebar can occur within concrete structures due to:
· Corrosion of reinforcement
· Sulfate and chloride attack
· Salt weathering
· Cracking due to shrinkage
· Thermal gradients
· Aggregate-cement reactivity
Advantages of Epoxy coating
·
Protection
- Epoxy coated rebar is designed to protect the rebar against rust and corrosion. Applying an epoxy coating to steel rebar prevents oxygen and chlorides from reaching the steel surface reducing corrosion.·
Environmentally friendly materials
- Unlike many paints, the fusion-bonded epoxy coatings used for steel reinforcement do not contain appreciable solvents or other environmentally hazardous substances.Disadvantages of Epoxy coating
·
Special Handling
- ECR requires delicate handling to prevent damage to the epoxy coating. Any damage to the coating prior to placement will compromise the corrosion protection. Special handling must be used at the fabrication plant, in transit to the site and during handling and storage to the site. It is essential that damage to the coating is minimized.·
UV damage
- ECR coatings break down under UV ray exposure.·
Touch up
after placement may be required due to scratching and chipping during transport and placement·
Coating inconsistencies
- ECR specifications allow for a percentage of the bar to have holidays and pinholes, compromising its protection mechanisms before it reaches the job site.·
Abrasion resistance -
The coating lacks abrasion resistance, and thus is easily damaged in transport to the job site and installation.·
Poor bond to concrete
- Loss of bond strength as a result of the epoxy coating·
Under film corrosion
- ECR coatings are permeable and once corrosion begins, it spreads throughout the bar underneath the epoxy film.·
Installation conditions -
ECR coatings may crack when handled in temperatures less than 50 F.·
Increased corrosion process
- Pin holes or discontinuity of the epoxy layer on a bar will enhance the corrosion process faster and more aggressive than in the case of a bare uncoated bar.Alternates for avoiding epoxy coated rebar
Following measures shall be adopted instead of using
epoxy coated rebar
for avoiding corrosion.1. Cement shall be Sulphate resistant cement.
2. Applying protective coating for the Horizontal and vertical concrete faces underground exposed to soil.
3. Minimum thickness of the Blinding concrete below foundations shall be 100 mm.
4. Quality concreting and consolidation procedures

What do you mean by "ECR specifications allow for a percentage of the bar to have holidays"? The statement "Poor bond to concrete" is not correct. You may change it to reduced bond to concrete. Similarly "ECR coatings are permeable" is wrong. I am not sure whether"Pin holes or discontinuity of the epoxy layer on a bar will enhance the corrosion process faster and more aggressive than in the case of a bare uncoated bar" is correct or not. What do you mean by "Blinding concrete"?!

Thank you for the reply.
ECR specs allow to use some percentage of bars which are not coated properly or fully or with less number of coats (Coating inconsistencies).
And,
Blinding concrete is nothing but non-structural concrete placed on top of soil at founding level on which the foundation slab rests. It will protect and form a leveled surface for the foundation. The top of blinding concrete will be painted with 2 coats of epoxy water proofing coat to avoid concrete base from suphate/chloride attack.

Post subject: slightly revised posting on concrete mix design
20 May
Dear Er Renjith and Dr N Subramanian
' Dr NS clearly pointed out that concrete mix design is for target
compressive strength, which is expected to be the average (meaning the
population itself) when large number of specimens are collected over a
period and tested. However, at any particular time/instant, we may have
only so called 'a few test results' available, then, the computed
average strength of these can not match the target strength of the
concrete population, statistically speaking. Hence, a computed mean
value from the test results is accepted with some acceptable level of
confidence. This is the reason why the Clause 16 of IS 456: and
SP:24-, pp.37 for the acceptance criteria, considers the mean of
four consecutive tests and this value should be greater than fck+4 N/mm2
(or fck+0.825*SD, whichever is larger, SD = Standard deviation).
' Statistically, occurrence of individual test being less than fck-4
N/mm2 is supposed very low and hence, in a normal construction site of
reasonable quality control, fck-4 may not or let us say should not occur
often to cause alarm!
' As per Clause 15.4, we must note that the test result of the sample is
the average of the strength of three specimens. The individual test
specimen result should be not considered at all. the 'individual test
result' of Col (3) of Table 11 of IS 456 is always average of say
minimum three specimens and not the individual specimen itself
' It would be interesting some more elaborate details are made available
for Table 11, especially based statistics, and not general concrete
related terms alone!
With best wishes and thanks
