Why is it important?
Using connectors can remarkably reduce repairing materials and prevent debonding of the EB plates.
Perspectives
The investigation verifies that steel connectors increase the shear bond strength by 48% compared to 38% for the adhesive connectors. Thus, steel connectors are more effective than adhesive connectors in increasing shear bond strength.
