Abstract
This article describes an experiment to resurface a concrete pavement with a thin bonded overlay of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete. Conducted in a Montreal suburb over a period of more than eight years, the experiment provided the basis for assessing the performance of this technique under a variety of test conditions. The efficacy of the approach was validated by monitoring the progress of a network of microcracks, which quickly stabilised; by assessing the bonding of the thin overlay with coring and thermography; and by carrying out a detailed study of fiber corrosion at the microcrack level, which revealed that fibres were mostly corrosion free.
