This book presents the fundamentals of concrete surface engineering, considered in view of repair and surface treatment. It is intended to serve as a leading-edge source of information for practicing engineers, architects, repair specialists, and researchers involved in concrete infrastructure maintenance. A comprehensive discussion of the various relevant topics is proposed, from concrete surface characterization to the achievement of a lasting bond, through physicochemical adhesion principles, repair / surface treatment compatibility requirements, and the various surface preparation considerations.
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:
Benoît Bissonnette is professor of civil engineering at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada.
