Adhesives can be used to connect various materials. The quality of the join connections depends on the used adhesive and the adhesion process. This process is not limited on application and curing. It is determined by numerous influencing parameters and requires high accuracy to achieve process reliability and long-term stability. To increase knowledge about adhesive bonding and to predict durability more precisely , it is important to examine reliability and strength of bonded joints.
Adhesive bonding on concrete surfaces is one of the latest development in fastening technology. The department Fastening and Strengthening Methods investigates the basic behavior of theses bondings concerning:
- surface tension
- load bearing behavior
- loss of adhesion
- loss of tension
- creep
- fatigue
