Suppl 3 REMR TECHNICAL NOTE CS-MR-2.1 CONCRETE SURFACE PREPARATION PRIOR TO REPAIR Prepared surface ready for patching PURPOSE: To provide guidance for preparing concrete surfaces for repair. BACKGROUND: Surface preparation is one of the primary considerations when executing a repair requiring bonding of a material to concrete. Inadequate surface preparation can cause the most expensive and innovative repair mate– rials and techniques to fail. There are many reasons why a repair may fail prematurely. With care and adequate preparation, however, the chances for success are excellent. MAJOR CAUSES OF CRACKING, DEBONDING AND BREAKDOWN OF LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY: 1. Stresses: At the interface between concrete and repair material, stresses develop because of service loads, and because of differences in thermal, shrinkage and elastic properties of the two materials. Ultimately, these stresses can cause cracking and debonding of the repair material. 2. Unsound Concrete: Bonding a repair material to unsound concrete can result in failure of the repair below the interface. Insufficient removal depth or technique–induced microcracking may result in unsound concrete 1 REMR TN CS–MR-2.1 Suppl 3 remaining in the prepared surface. A layer of microcracking can result from an impacting technique, such as milling or jackhammering. 3. Foreign Agents: Presence of grease, oil, efflorescence, laitanee, dirt, protective coatings or other surface coatings on the concrete can result in failure of the repair. 4. Varying Thickness of Repair: Extre
