Applying any material to an existing concrete surface intrinsically
entails the development of a bond. Considering the ever increasing
importance of concrete repair and protection, which imply the
creation of an interface between two materials, an improved
knowledge of concrete surface characteristics is paramount. Surface
engineering, which has evolved from the world of metallurgy,
addresses all surface-related considerations, notably adhesion. It
provides a fundamental understanding of what will make the contact
between two materials effective or not, allowing for interactions
of variable intensity. It also comes with a variety of scientific
tools for characterizing the quality of the substrate, the
properties of the new material layer and their interface. In the
case of concrete surface treatment, this is especially important
for achieving lasting results. This book addresses the essentials
of concrete surface engineering in view of a wide variety of
concrete surface treatments, from protective coatings to repairs.
It provides a leading-edge source of information for practicing
engineers, architects, repair specialists, and researchers on the
following topics: Surface engineering principles applied to
concrete Methods and techniques for assessing concrete surface
characteristics Fundamentals of adhesion between concrete and
surface repairs/treatments Compatibility requirements for concrete
surface repairs/treatments Review of surface preparation techniques
available for concrete Achievement and appraisal of bond between
existing concrete and surface repairs/treatments Benoit Bissonnette
