This paper investigates the influence of fusion bonded epoxy coating (FBEC) on the bond strength of reinforced concrete. Eighty four pullout specimens were cast with smooth bars and bars having different rib geometries such as inclined and diamond ribs. At the ultimate stress, the reduction in bond strength was less than 10% irrespective of the rib pattern or the bar diameter. The reduction in the bond strength of the diamond rib pattern was more than that of the inclined rib pattern. The reduction in the bond strength for all the types of rib geometries used in this study was less than the maximum reduction of 20% specified by IS 13620:1993 code.
