A review on application of structural adhesives in concrete and steel–concrete composite and factors influencing the performance of composite connections

This paper chronicles the use of structural adhesives in civil engineering construction since its inception. The usage of structural adhesives as effective and popular strengthening agents has been discussed. The application of structural adhesives as connecting agents, especially in cases of steel–concrete composites has also been discussed in detail. Various factors influence the bond strength of interfaces, such as the physical, mechanical...
