Abstract

This paper presents a numerical simulation and preliminary experimental investigation of bonding of concrete structures using cement and polymer cement as adhesive materials. The numerical model of concrete plates bonded with the polymer cement is created and subjected to cyclic thermal loading. As a result, the critical stresses are obtained. Also all the necessary materials for carrying out high-quality, fast and inexpensive experimental investigation of the strength of cement and polymer cement bond are prepared. The experimental setup and the first results obtained are also described. The bonding quality of the polymer cement shows satisfactory results under this kind of loading, thus the use of the polymer cement for bonding of concrete structures of different properties is reasonable in the specific fields considered in this study.
