Epoxy coated rebar with damage exceeding what size must be repaired?

The standard for repairing epoxy coated rebar is based on the level of damage that can compromise its corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Damage exceeding 0.1 square inch is significant enough that it may lead to rebar corrosion and ultimately affect the longevity of the structure. Repairing damage at this threshold ensures that the protective coating remains effective and that the structural application maintains its intended load-bearing capacity. Coatings are crucial in preventing corrosion, so timely repairs are essential whenever the damage surpasses this limit.

Repair protocols typically outline specific measurements for when repair is necessary, and exceeding 0.1 square inch indicates a need for intervention before further degradation occurs.
