Abstract	Epoxy-coated reinforcement (ECR) is the principal concrete reinforcing material currently in use in the United States in corrosive environments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate methods for making ECR more corrosion resistant by using multiple corrosion protection strategies in bridge decks and bridge members in marine environments where abundant salt, moisture, and high temperatures are prevalent. This research was conducted using laboratory and field tests, the results of which were used to compare the performance of the corrosion protection systems on the basis of chloride threshold, corrosion rate, life expectancy, and cost effectiveness. This TechBrief summarizes the study approach and interim conclusions.
Supplemental Information	The publication from which this TechBrief was developed is "Multiple Corrosion Protection Systems for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Components" (FHWA-HRT-07-043).
