Objectives:
New adhesives and adhesive
are able to sustain high stresses when bonded to glass. This offers the
potential to build glass-adhesive-glass composite elements that behave
as true structural composites.
This project includes analytical
and testing work and aims to demonstrate that greater than 80 percent composite
action can be achieved.
