Experimental determination of basic mechanical properties of elastomeric polymer

Abstrakt

There are a lot of different methods of repairing and reinforcing damaged structures, but when it comes to historical buildings and other cultural heritage objects, it is as much about mechanical safety as the aesthetical aspects. Recently, a new and innovative method of repairing damaged structures by filling the cracks with a specially prepared polymer mass has been proposed. This new and innovative technique, known as the Flexible Joint Method (FJM), is mainly dedicated to masonries and historical objects, where minimum intervention is permitted. The flexible joint bonds the disrupted elements and ensures further safe exploitation of a damaged structure. The aim of the present paper is to show the results of the experimental study focused on determining the basic mechanical properties of the elastomeric polymer used for the injections. The results of the study exhibit highly non-linear time-dependent behaviour of the analyzed material. A clear correlation between strain rate and stress was observed. Finally, the hysteretic behaviour of the elastomeric polymer confirms its potential to dissipate the energy in case of dynamic excitations.
