Resin and steel-reinforced resin used as injection materials in bolted connections

Injection bolts are bolts in which the cavity produced by the clearance between the bolt and the wall of the hole is completely filled up with a two-component resin. Filling of the clearance is carried out through a small hole in the head of the bolt. After injection and complete curing, the connection is slip resistant. Recently the...

Computational homogenization simulation on steel reinforced resin used in the injected bolted connections

In this paper, compressive material tests on unconfined/confined resin and steel reinforced resin were experimentally evaluated in order to validate the numerical results. The uniaxial model which combines damage mechanics and Ramberg-Osgood relationship is proposed in this paper to describe the uniaxial compressive behaviour of resin and...
