Pull-Off Adhesion Strength Testing of Lining Systems on Concrete: A Review of the Various Direct Tensil Test Methods Used for Severe Service

Tensile pull-off adhesion testing is becoming a more frequent specification requirement for in situ quality assurance testing to confirm proper surface preparation and adhesion of high performance protective linings applied to concrete. It is also becoming a widely used test for forensic analysis of protective linings in existing installations. There have been numerous investigations leading to the development of different devices and test pull-off adhesion methods used to assess bond strengths of mortars and overlay materials

Tensile pull-off adhesion testing is becoming a more frequent specification requirement for in situ quality assurance testing to confirm proper surface preparation and adhesion of high performance protective linings applied to concrete. It is also becoming a widely used test for forensic analysis of protective linings in existing installations. There have been numerous investigations leading to the development of different devices and test pull-off adhesion methods used to assess bond strengths of mortars and overlay materials. There are fundamental differences between these methods that can dramatically impact tensile strength results. This paper presents the common pull-off adhesion test methods used in the United States as well as the results of experimental research investigating the results using two common tensile strength testers.
