Mortar Bond Strength Test Results from 530 Specimens

A study evaluating the influence of test parameters on the tensile bond strength of mortar renderings. The research combined a Finite Element Method computer model with laboratory experiments on 530 specimens applied to concrete slabs. It was conducted by Eliane Betânia Carvalho Costa at Universidade de São Paulo.

Use Cases

• Modeling bond strength variability based on test geometry and dimensions mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the relationship between bond strength and rendering moisture content mentioned in the description
• Comparing the effects of different loading rates and equipment types on test results mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Dataset is based on 530 physical test specimens
• Combines computational modeling (Finite Element Method) with experimental laboratory data

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
