Historical development

Part 2 — Applications

The second part of this book is devoted to current and potential applications of adhesive materials in construction. Chapter 6 deals with both the repair and the strengthening of concrete structures, covering applications ranging from non-structural patch repairs and resin overlays to externally bonded steel plate reinforcement. The theme of repair and strengthening is extended to applications involving steel, timber and masonry structures. A number of ‘case histories’ are reviewed and discussed with reference to the successes and failures, and the results of allied research work are presented. In Chapter 7 a number of applications of adhesives in new construction are described, and specific examples are given. The final chapter, Chapter 8, examines the potential for future developments in adhesive usage.

The link between the first and the second parts of the book is emphasised throughout in an attempt to connect theory with practice, highlighting some of the problems and identifying methods for overcoming them.
