Evaluation of the resistance of adhesive joints of carpentry to atmospheric fluctuations

Abstract

Wood and wooden glued products are widely used as building structures in various construction industries that operate within a wide range of atmospheric factors and require stability and durability. Therefore, the goal was to conduct experimental studies to determine the stability of the adhesive bond of a window element made of wood under the influence of temperature and moisture static fluctuations. In this regard, a comprehensive approach was applied to experimentally establish the effectiveness of the glued wood layer by investigating the resistance of the adhesive layer to destruction when changing temperature and humidity fields within a wide range. According to the experimental values of the adhesive layer boundary after exposure to temperature and humidity fields such as glued wood, it was established that the best result of the tensile strength (0.29 N/mm2) was obtained for polyurethane adhesive. For rubber glue and PVA, the tensile strength was 0.17 N/mm2, which provides adhesion quite well due to its properties. This is due to the fact that the adhesive composition must have sufficient elasticity to allow the wood to expand and dry out under the influence of temperature. In turn, the glued layer based on bustilate and liquid glass, has the tensile strength set at a preasure of 0.07 N/mm2 and 0.12 N/mm2 accordingly. A decrease in the adhesive capacity for bustilate is due to the fact that at a low-temperature level, it loses its properties. The liquid glass-based adhesive has an alkaline environment and interacts with the components of wood resin acids, reducing adhesion. The results obtained allow selecting effective adhesives for the production of composite materials from wood, depending on the operating conditions, and provide for the properties of glued wood
