A simple beam model to analyse the durability of adhesively bonded tile floorings in presence of shrinkage

S. de Miranda, A. Palermo, F. Ubertini

A simple beam model for the evaluation of tile debonding due to substrate shrinkage is presented. The tile-adhesive-substrate package is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam laying on a two-layer elastic foundation. An effective discrete…
