Abstract

In this paper the behaviour and strength of bed joints in deformation-controlled shear tests are discussed. At TNO Building and Construction Research a number of 54 deformation-controlled tests were carried out . The results will be discussed here and concern shear bond strength in relation to the cohesion and angle of internal friction, shear modulus, and post-peak behaviour (mode II fracture energy, cohesion softening, dilatancy angle, friction coefficient). Furthermore, the cohesion will be compared with the tensile bond strength and with the results of 'triplet tests' according to CBN pr EN GGGG-3.
