Timber moulds were used to c<strong>as</strong>t the <strong>concrete</strong> substrate. Normal <strong>concrete</strong> w<strong>as</strong> poured intothe moulds. Due to the <strong>high</strong> depth <strong>of</strong> the <strong>concrete</strong> substrates (4 in) two vibrations <strong>of</strong> 5-10seconds each were carried out; the first one when the half <strong>of</strong> the <strong>concrete</strong> had beenpoured and the second one when all the <strong>concrete</strong> had been placed.After placing NSC into the moulds, the same procedure <strong>as</strong> the slant shear samples w<strong>as</strong>followed. Namely, a 24 hour moist cure, demoulding and cure in a lime water tank for 28days. The identical substrate surfaces <strong>as</strong> those <strong>of</strong> the slant shear test were obtained. It h<strong>as</strong>to be mentioned that the treated surfaces were those c<strong>as</strong>t against the bottom part <strong>of</strong> themoulds in order to be able to obtain the same degree <strong>of</strong> roughness between those treatedwith the same method.
