Big River Industries Bridge decks with all epoxy-coated bars perform better than those with a bottom mat of standard black rebar.

Bridge decks reinforced with one layer of epoxy-coated rebar and a bottom layer of uncoated steel rebar show corrosion damage sooner than decks constructed with all epoxy-coated rebar, concluded a research team for the Minnesota DOT. The research team also recommended that once the deck condition element in mixed-bar decks holds a rating of two for seven years, more robust cracking sealing techniques should be considered to prevent it from reaching a rating of three.
