Analysis of size influence on tensile and shear failures in adhesive joints between etics and sheet metal elements

Anchoring sheet metal components has been a common challenge in construction for a long time. These components are widely used on modern buildings, but as insulation layers get thicker, anchoring them directly to the supporting structure becomes more difficult. This paper looks at how the size of bo...

Description
Summary:Anchoring sheet metal components has been a common challenge in construction for a long time. These components are widely used on modern buildings, but as insulation layers get thicker, anchoring them directly to the supporting structure becomes more difficult. This paper looks at how the size of bonded joints affects their load capacity when fastening sheet metal elements to ETICS facades. The study used a thixotropic silane-modified polymer adhesive and found that joint size plays a key role in load capacity. It also explores the differences between tensile and shear stress failures, showing how each type of failure impacts the strength and performance of the joints.
