Experimental Study on the Interfacial Bonding Performance of a New Steel Bridge Deck Interface-Bonding Agent by Chaohua Zhao, Ya Li, Zhijian Yi, Kang Su

“…The results showed that (1) the interface pull-off strength was higher than 4 MPa, that is, higher than twice that of epoxy asphalt pavements used currently on steel bridge decks, and the failure surface was located on the pavement material rather than on the bonding interface; (2) the interface flexural strength and tensile strength were significantly higher than those of epoxy asphalt at room temperature and those of the ordinary epoxy resin; (3) the dual-interface shear strength was nearly four times higher than that of epoxy asphalt. Therefore, the modified epoxy resin composite interface-bonding material suggested in this study is an excellent bonding material that can serve as a reference for interface-bonding of steel bridge deck pavements.…”
