Principal factors influencing the level of adhesion in layered systems made of cement composites

Abstract

Figure 3.1 attempts to classify the principal factors that influence the level of adhesion in layered systems made of cement composites. These factors have been previously described in detail by other researchers, for example by Wall and Shrive (Wall and Shrive in ACI Materials 95:117–125, 1998 [1]), Emmons and Vaysburd (Emmons and Vaysburd in Factors affecting durability of concrete repair, Edinburgh, UK, pp. 253–267 (1993) [2]) or Czarnecki and Chmielewska (Czarnecki and Chmielewska in Cement Wapno Beton 2:74–85 (2005) [3].
