Experimental Study of Bond Behavior on Aluminum Alloy Plate-to-Concrete Interface

Abstract:

This paper presents an experimental study on the bond performance of aluminum alloy plate-to-concrete interface via a series of simple shear test. The parameters examined include the bond length and width of the aluminum alloy plates. Two types of failure modes were observed through the experimental program. The test results demonstrate the bond strength of the aluminum plate-to-concrete interface depends strongly on the coupling effect of bond length and width. The variation of the aluminum strain distribution along the bond length against the applied load clearly illustrates the existence of an effective bond length. The load-slip curves show that the bond width has more sensitive effect to the bond strength.
