The numerical modelling of the polymer cement bonding under the cyclic thermal load
This paper presents a numerical simulation method which was created as a preparation for the subsequent experimental simulation. The finite element numerical model of concrete plates bonded with polymer cement as an adhesive were created and subjected to cyclic thermal load. As a result, the principal stresses are obtained. Also all the necessary materials for carrying out high-quality, fast and cheap experimental investigation of the strength of cement and polymer cement bond are prepared. The bonding quality of the polymer cement is showing satisfactory results under this kind of loading, thus the use of the polymer cement for bonding of concrete structures of different properties is reasonable in the specific fields considered in this study.
