The effect of anchor embedded length and impact load on the mechanical properties of adhesive
concrete joint under different dynamic loading rate was studied [1]. Hopkinson pressure bar was
used to apply dynamic load to specimens. Specimens with through hole and embedded anchor
lengths of 2.5 cm and 5 cm were used in the study. The specimens were hit with strain wave induced
using air pressure of 1 and 1.5 bar respectively. The result showed that as the embedded length
decrease the maximum load of failure increase also as the pressure increase the specimen tend to
absorb most of the wave in the adhesive joint. While as the load wave magnitude decrease the
portion of the wave transmits to the concrete part of the specimen causing rupture or cracking of this
part increase.
