Connecting steel to concrete with epoxy / polymer adhesive 2

[jfmann]

I am interested in learning about specific cases of using epoxy or polymer adhesive to connect steel plates to concrete beams........as reinforcement.........particularly seeking information on shear, modulus of elasticity and creep potential........

 

[merbas]

this very interesting subject. Ofcouse alots of parameters exits and can define.You can get information particularly from

http://www.pieri.com

<br>
if you mentioned my name "murat erbas" they will help you very closely.Consult mr.chistian Prost from PIERI.
