title = "Laboratory Tests on Structural Adhesive Joints",
abstract = "Since the Greek and Roman times adhesive structural connections have been used to join individual members of a structure to form a complete assembly. In this chapter, a review of the different laboratory tests on structural adhesive joints is given. These tests aim to assess the performance of the adhesive connection when subjected to normal or shear stress, or a combination of these field stresses. The test setup and the corresponding test protocols will also be addressed, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, some examples of innovative laboratory tests on structural adhesive joints between different materials will be presented and discussed in more detail.",
