What is slant bond strength?

What is slant bond strength?

What is slant bond strength?

(OP)
I was reviewing the product data sheet of a concrete repair material. The data sheet contains the following-

Direct tension bond strength
Direct shear bond strength
slant bond strength.

What is 'slant bond strength'? Which bond strength should I look for to conclude that the bond with parent concrete is good during the temperature fluctuation?

RE: What is slant bond strength?

I think the "slant bond strength" may be the tensile strength on a plane that is the same as the compressive strength of concrete where you are seeing the shear as a measure of diagonal tension - See your old class notes on Mohrs circle.

If that fails, contact the issuer of the product data sheet to get definition of the term that is more understandable that just the term. You may even find an ASTM test procedure.

RE: What is slant bond strength?

Actually, it's the coefficient of friction of a drunk laying parallel to the slope of a wet, sloping concrete surface with a k of 42.  At what angle of concrete will he slide into the gutter?

This is different from the coefficient of roll where the drunk is laying perpendicular to the slope of the concrete.

As a special credit to solving the above two problems, at what angle to the sloping surface of concrete will the drunk roll instead of slide?

I had a crazy high school physics teacher...
