Abstract
In civil engineering many of the situations in which adhesives are used are not truly structural in the sense that the adhesive is not required to transmit significant shear or tensile stresses. In new construction, for example, applications might include the use of resins to form bridge expansion joint nosings, to bed down bridge bearings or as slurry type road surfaces on either steel or concrete substrates. The application of ‘structural’ adhesives in new construction is rare, although increasing use is being made of epoxies as gap fillers between units in segmental precast prestressed bridge construction.
