A dual polymer-zinc coated rebar (DCR) has been recently introduced as corrosion resistant concrete reinforcement for aggressive service environments. Results from preliminary examination on possible mechanistic issues on the corrosion performance of DCR as well as conventional epoxy coated rebar in simulated concrete pore solution environments are presented.
