Publisher's Synopsis
This state of the art report provides an in-depth, comprehensive technical survey of the three main coating protection systems for steel reinforcement: hot-dip galvanizing; epoxy-coating; and PVC-coating. Based on the results of an extensive research project conducted by a CEB task group, this state of the art report, in an unbiased way, evaluates: the practical effects of each of the systems; when a protection system is necessary; which protection system is the best technically; and the economic considerations. Through its impartiality, "Coating Protection for Reinforcement" is an indispensable guide for all engineers who are looking for practical, yet economical, ways to delay or avoid the onset of reinforcement corrosion.
