Abstract

Adhesive bonding in the construction sector has a long tradition that dates back to the Nabataean and Babylonian ages. However, contemporary fastening technology must fulfill criteria other than simple wall and brick building. Topics like freedom in design, energy efficiency, repair, and lightweight construction are continuously addressed. In particular, bonding of dissimilar materials requires the improvement of joining technologies, and thus adhesion technology is equally evolving.

This chapter aims to introduce applications of adhesive bonding in civil construction. For this purpose, four fields of application (concrete construction, glass construction, timber construction, and steel construction) are considered with regard to already established and novel joining techniques. Particularities of the individual substrate materials are described as well as commonly used and suitable adhesive systems and the specific requirements of their applications.
