Abstract
Designing structures with adhesive bonded components is a relatively new concept to the construction industry. The technology is, however, a simple, cost-effective, and yet, technically sound and reliable method which can enhance the performance of structures and extend the quality of their service life. The technique is so versatile that it can be applied to concrete, steel or timber members, either in new construction or to repair and retrofit damaged/deteriorating structures, or indeed to develop, new composite-concrete structural systems without steel which is prone to corrosion. This paper describes the structural behaviour of plated beams with emphasis on the effects of bonding plates on serviceability and ultimate limit states. Problems of premature bond failure are discussed, and methods of overcoming such failures are reported. Resistance to fire hazards, and other relevant design considerations are discussed.
