Summary:Of particular importance is the inherent crack control of these materials. In overlay repair or other composite application with for instance reinforced concrete (RC), the design process requires information about the interfacial interaction between SHCC en RC. In an MScEng research project, different substrate preparation methods, namely sandblasting, mechanical roughening and subsequent moistening were applied to RC specimens prepared in the laboratory. SHCC was subsequently cast on these substrates.
