Study on the static and pseudo-static behavior of a ceramic panel fixed with an anchor and epoxy resin adhesive

Abstract This study investigates ceramic panels’ static and pseudo-static behavior secured with an anchor and epoxy resin adhesive to enhance their load-bearing capacity and safety. The influence of different anchor implantation positions was evaluated through experimental tests and numerical simulations, focusing on the static behavior of independent ceramic panel elements and the pseudo-static response of K-1 specimens. The results demonstrate that compared to traditional adhesive bonding, mechanical fixation using an anchor and epoxy resin adhesive significantly enhanced the shear capacity of ceramic panels, with K-1 specimens showing a 48.44% improvement. This fixation method exhibited excellent seismic performance in pseudo-static tests, maintaining structural stability under large interstorey drift ratios and preventing panel detachment. These findings provide scientific data supporting advanced ceramic panel installation techniques, offering practical solutions to reduce falling incidents and improve building safety and durability.
