Abstract

There is increasing demand for strengthening ageing steel structures, and bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates strengthening is becoming more widely used. The technique can be advantageous compared to traditional welded steel plate methods, due to its ease of installation, a high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. This study focuses on the evaluation of a commonly used structural epoxy adhesive, Sikadur-30, for strengthening steel structures with externally bonded CFRP plates. Several key properties of the adhesive were investigated, including its thermogravimetric relationship curve, glass transition temperature, and bond strength. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the adhesive retained more than 95% of its quality up to 200 °C, indicating its suitability for civil engineering applications. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that the glass transition temperature of the examined adhesive was 80.47 °C, which suggests that the operating temperature for CFRP-reinforced steel structures should be lower than 60.47 °C. The final lap-shear joint test demonstrated that the adhesive had a bond strength of 23.58 MPa. Overall, the adhesive exhibited appropriate thermal stability and bond strength for externally bonded CFRP strengthening application.
