MAIN FINDING: Solvent-based coatings outperformed water-based coatings and sealers in resisting moisture and chloride ingress.
KEY EVIDENCE: Assessments showed poor performance of the water-based coating compared to the other products.
APPROACH: A laboratory-based evaluation used multiple tests: sorptivity, chloride penetration, and ponding.
SIGNIFICANCE: The findings aid in selecting effective materials for protecting concrete bridge substructures from corrosion.
