Recent advances in adhesive technology have led to a rapid growth
in the use of adhesives in load-bearing joints in civil engineering
applications such as buildings and bridges. In many cases, the use
of adhesives can prove more convenient, less expensive, stronger,
and more durable than traditional methods of joining. This book
provides for a complete and clear introduction to the use of
adhesives to form load-bearing joints in bridges, civil engineering
and building structures. The first part of this book addresses the
crucial factors involved in the formation of a successful adhesive
joint, including adhesive selection, surface preparation, joint
design, fabrication and protection from the environment. The second
part of the book describes the growing uses of adhesives to repair
and strengthen existing structures, in addition to describing their
use in new constructions and applications that are now being
developed for the future. The connection between the two parts of
the book is brought out wherever possible so that the links between
theory and practice are emphasized. The book gives the reader all
the information required to fully exploit the economic and
technical advantages of adhesives over conventional methods.
Professional civil and structural engineers in higher education and
industry will find this book an invaluable source of information on
a technology of increasing importance.
