Improving the tensile shear strength of lap joints of beech wood by adding basalt fibers to polyurethane adhesive

Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to assess the shear strength of the lap joints of beech wood. To achieve this objective, a one-component polyurethane adhesive filled with basalt fibers was used to create waterproof joints. The shear strength of the bonded joint was carried out according to EN 302-1. The results showed that the lap joints bonded with a one-component polyurethane adhesive containing 3% basalt fibers had significantly higher shear strength. While the average value of the shear strength of lap joints glued with one-component polyurethane without the filler in the hydrothermal stress was 8.8 N/mm2, the lap joints with basalt fibers achieved more than a 14% higher average shear strength of 10.1 N/mm2. In addition, the experimental data showed a higher occurrence of joint failure in the wood substrate when the modified adhesive was used, which contrasts with the behavior observed for reference joints bonded with an unmodified one-component polyurethane adhesive without basalt fibers.
