f sp = 2 ∗ PA ∗ π in psi Equation 3.1where f sp is the splitting tensile strength, P is the maximum applied load and A is the area<strong>of</strong> the bonding plane.3.1.2 Slant Shear TestClimaco and Regan (2001) stated that the slant shear method is widely accepted to <strong>as</strong>sessthe bond strength between <strong>concrete</strong> substrate and the overlay <strong>material</strong> due to its realisticrepresentation <strong>of</strong> the stress states in the real structures and its simplicity. This methodconsists in applying a compressive force to a composite sample which is composed <strong>of</strong>two different <strong>material</strong>s bonded together along an interface arranged at some inclination tothe direction <strong>of</strong> the applied load (Eyre and Campos 1996). Therefore, the interfacebetween both <strong>material</strong>s is subjected to compression and shear stresses during the loading.This bond test method gives consistent results for both cementitious and noncementitiousoverlays (Abu-Tair et al. 1996).There are various configurations used for the test, such <strong>as</strong> the sample sizes and the angle<strong>of</strong> the bond plane. BS EN 12615:1999 (British Standard 1999) utilizes prisms <strong>of</strong>3.9x3.9x15.7 in (100x100x400 mm) or 1.6x1.6x6.3 in (40x40x160 mm) with a bondsurface inclined at an angle <strong>of</strong> 30° from vertical while ASTM C 882 (Bond Strength <strong>of</strong>Epoxy-Resin Systems With Concrete By Slant Shear) recommends the use <strong>of</strong> cylinderswith 3 in diameter and 5.6 in height with a bond interface inclined at an angle <strong>of</strong> 30° fromvertical. The French standard NFP 18-872 uses prisms me<strong>as</strong>uring 3.9x3.9x11.8 in(100x100x300 mm) at an angle <strong>of</strong> 30° from vertical while the Italian standard adoptsprisms <strong>of</strong> 2.8x2.8x7.9in (70x70x200 mm) with a joint angle <strong>of</strong> 17° from vertical(Climaco and Regan 2001; Pacheco-Torgal et al. 2008). Robins and Austin (1995) c<strong>as</strong>tprisms <strong>of</strong> 2x2.2x5.9 in (50x55x150 mm) with a bond interface forming an angle <strong>of</strong> 30°,45°, 60° with the vertical. Naderi (2009) utilized prims <strong>of</strong> 3.9x3.9x9.8 in (100x100x250mm) with a bond surface angle <strong>of</strong> 30°. Sooriyaarachchi et al. (2002) c<strong>as</strong>t cylinders <strong>of</strong> 3 in40
