  • Adhesion between concrete base and flooring system - pull-off vs. wedge-splitting
    Šajna, Aljoša
    Good adhesion between base concrete and a flooring system is crucial for the durability of an industrial floor. Normally adhesion is determined by the well known pull-off test method. In this paper ... the wedge-splitting test (WST) method known from the fracture mechanics of concrete is presented as an alternative method. Possible advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed. The results of an extensive test program including seven different flooring systems and the two test methods are presented. Based on the results the applicability of the WST for the determination of bond characteristics is evaluated.
