For injection of cracks up to 1 4 inch cold joints delaminations and holes above 40 f the two component epoxy adhesive shall have a mixed viscosity from 200 to 350 cps at 73 f.
The flexural strength of concrete for example will lie in the 600 to 800 psi range.
Concrete is marvelous stuff but in time it will deteriorate.
The bond strength is the measure of the effectiveness of the grip between concrete and steel and has no standard quantitative definition.
Signal and power bonds to railroad rails and bonds on crane rails.
In pull out tests on plain bars the maximum load generally represents the bond strength that can be developed between concrete and steel.
