• Surfaces to receive overlay or repair material are usually prepared to ensure good bonding
• Some repair methods can damage concrete and reduce the “apparent” bond strength

SummarySummarySummarySummary
• Pull-off test can be used to evaluate surface before applying repair materials or overlays
• Evaluate bond strength of repair materials
• Need to eliminate bending on the disk when it is being pulled off
• Good adhesive needed to provide strong bond and allow rapid testing
• Failure will occur in “weakest link”
