Since the Florida Keys incident in 1986, effectiveness of epoxy coated reinforcing steel (ECR) has been questioned among corrosion professionals and transportation officials. One of the key controversies is whether ECR can be effective corrosion resistant under the disbonded coating condition. A school of experts claim that as soon as the epoxy coating disbonds, the ECR no longer provides adequate corrosion protection. According to others, however, excellent field performance records for nearly 30 years and several significant laboratory studies proved that, despite universally accepted disbondment phenomenon, ECR is still the best and economic corrosion protection system for the northern bridge decks and its corrosion resistance expects to improve because newer decks contain ECRs in both top and bottom mats.
