Is Debonding in Concrete Pavements Unavoidable?
Abstract Concrete overlays constitute one of the most frequent measures to repair and strengthen concrete bridge decks, concrete pavements, and industrial concrete floors. Good, secure, and durable bond between overlay and substrate provides the prerequisite for monolithic action and improves the durability. 30 years of Swedish research on bonded overlays thought beam tests, slab tests, and field measurements shows that a good bond can be obtained if some important demands are fulfilled. The Swedish research also includes long-term studies on repaired concrete bridge decks. These studies show that the bond is of the same magnitude ten years after concrete repair independent of structural system of the bridge, climate zone, traffic volume, or use of de-icing salt. Laboratory studies show that good bond is also able to resist fatigue loading. This paper summarizes these research activities and provides heavy arguments for answering the question in the heading negatively. Debonding is not unavoidable.
