EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BOND STRENGTH BETWEEN CERAMIC TILE AND PRECAST CONCRETE COLUMN USING 150MPa CONCRETE(Materials and Construction)

Abstract

Precast columns using 150MPa concrete were produced, and bond strength of the ceramic tile was investigated. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained. (1) Bond strength of tile in 150 MPa concrete column was higher than that of 60 MPa concrete column. (2) Bond strength of most tiles was high enough compared with a regulated value. (3) It was useful for the improvement of bond strength to paint the acrylic silicon resin on the backside of the tile. (4) The direction of the back foot did not influence bond strength of the tile.
