Concrete overlays constitute one of the most frequently used measures to repair and strengthen concrete bridge decks, concrete pavements, and industrial concrete floors. Although unbonded overlays are used in certain applications, bonded concrete overlays are usually more widely applicable, not only for repairs, but also in new concrete structures to provide wear resistance or smoothness. Examples of such use are concrete pavements cast in two lifts or concrete toppings on elevated precast concrete slabs. Within the field of bonded concrete overlays, there is a specific term for losing bond and it is called debonding. The use of the present participle (verb ending with -ing) indicates that it is a process -- the initial bond vanishes to zero during a certain time. Debonding is considered as following the zip principle; it starts at the edges (where the shear stresses often have their maximum) and propagates toward the center parts.
