ABSTRACT
Repair of concrete structures has become essential to extend the service life of infrastructures in agreement with sustainable development policies. Actually, considerable resources are used to rehabilitate damaged concrete structures. The main degradation observed is due to corrosion. It induces large financial costs spent each year for the repair of deteriorated concrete works. Moreover, despite multiple repair solutions, repair failures, as cracking or debonding of the coating, occur frequently within ten years, involving short-term interventions and additional costs of repair and service interruptions (Guettala & Abibsi 2006).
