Titel
Inductively heated glued-in GFRP rods using adhesives with metallic particles - cured within five minutes
Abstract
Glued-in-rods represent a particular class of adhesively bonded joints increasingly being used in civil engineering, and in which load is transmitted from timber elements by means of rods through a layer of adhesive. Commonly used adhesives for glued-in rods in timber engineering, cold curing 2K epoxies or polyurethanes, besides requiring relatively cumbersome bonding processes, only harden relatively slowly. Pre-applicable structural adhesives are adhesives that can be applied on parts, then stored for weeks or months, and subsequently triggered to achieve adhesive and cohesive strength. The pre-applicable structural adhesive investigated in this research (PASA®) can achieve full cure by supplying thermal energy, which for the case investigated herein has been provided by induction. Because of the non-metallic nature of the FRP rods induction was achieved by mixing metallic particles to the adhesive.
