... is expected. Hot mix asphaltic concrete (HMAC) paving systems rely on adhesion to the top surface of the waterproofing to resist shear forces; the waterproofing must also be adhered to the structural deck. Failures of HMAC paving systems on structures such as parking decks and bridge decks have occurred due...

... dependent on the degree of adhesional bonding at the interface, whereas at higher values of particle roughness the importance of adhesion decreases because of the increase in mechanical interference generated between the surface of rough particles and the ice matrix. This hypothesis uses the concept...

... formulation, building location, climate, and joint orientation, among other factors. This paper compares and shows the long-term performance of three construction sealant types: silicone, polyurethane, and acrylic terpolymer. Performance attributes such as toughness, flexibility, adhesion, and physical...

This approach lowers modulus with no or minimum reformulation. sealant additive adhesion modulus elongation movement durability Jerome M. Klosowski I and John...

... or required. The author believes that the future of field testing of installed weather proofing sealant joints should include enhanced nondestructive procedures. Continued field use, research, and development are essential in the quest for a near perfect building seal. sealant adhesion nondestructive...

... A new method for quantifying percentage wood failure of an adhesively bonded block-shear specimen has been developed. This method incorporates a laser displacement gage with an automated two-axis positioning system that functions as a highly sensitive profilometer. The failed specimen...

... Adhesion of coatings from 1 nm to 0.1 mm was successfully evaluated with multi-sensing technology, based on simultaneous high-resolution force, electrical, and acoustic measurements. Sharp changes in the signals were indicative of the thresholds of adhesion and delamination for various thin...

... Asphalt is a widely variable product used in public roadways at the rate of 30 million tons per year and is thus the largest volume of adhesive used in any application. Considering the commercial importance of asphalt, several analytical techniques were employed to investigate its adhesive...

... of the coatings, which are of particular interest with regard to the adhesion properties of silicone sealants. In this study, various commercial and developmental polyester powder coated aluminum substrates from different manufacturers were evaluated. An attempt was made to relate the surface energy, chemical...

... Silicone sealants are widely used in building construction. Regardless whether the sealant is used in structural sealant glazing or in non-structural applications (such as weather-sealing joints), good adhesion of the silicone sealant to the building substrate is a prerequisite for good...

... The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of float glass surface composition on silicone sealant adhesion in a wet environment. Float glass samples obtained from six different European glass manufacturers were characterized analytically (XPS) and tested for their hydrolytic stability...

... A durable building seal requires full and continuous adhesion of the weatherproofing sealant in the joint at all locations. At times, mere nominal adhesion is achieved. Reasons for nominal adhesion will not be discussed here, but they vary widely. This condition is not easily detected...

... The uplift resistance of asphalt shingles with self-sealing adhesives is studied by applying mechanical forces to examine the effects of loading geometry, shingle rigidity, and the rate of load application. Three distinct test methods for simulating the wind-induced uplift effects of peeling...
