Books by Benoit (Laval University Bissonnette

This book presents the fundamentals of concrete surface engineering, considered in view of repair and surface treatment. It is intended to serve as a leading-edge source of information for practicing engineers, architects, repair specialists, and researchers involved in concrete infrastructure maintenance. A comprehensive discussion of the various relevant topics is proposed, from concrete surface characterization to the achievement of a lasting bond, through physicochemical adhesion principles, repair / surface treatment compatibility requirements, and the various surface preparation considerations.
