Abstract
According to current Greek and international regulations
regarding reparation of damages on concrete structures or
masonry, epoxy based mortars can be used for these applications.
In this paper, the mechanical behaviour of epoxy based
mortars under typical laboratory testing conditions, such as
uniaxial compression was simulated through finite element
analysis of two-dimensional models. The analysis was performed
in the elastic domain for the aggregates and the elastoplastic
domain for the resin. Four elementary models were created, one
of which corresponds to a partially filled resin matrix. Material
model values are based on laboratory data and comparative
diagrams of stresses and displacements are presented.
