High strength adhesives provide potentially efficient load-bearing steel-glass linear connections by enabling composite action. However, there is a lack of reliable models that can accurately predict their mechanical behavior. This paper describes experimental investigations undertaken to select suitable adhesives from short-listed epoxies and acrylates. The selection was based on mechanical performance of adhesive single-lap shear joints subjected to short-duration loads. The paper also assesses the validity of an analytical and a viscoelastic-plastic numerical model used for predicting the stress-state in adhesive joints. The investigation shows that three of the tested adhesives may be suitable for use in a steel-glass composite façade system. The analytical model provides good predictions at low strains but the accuracy decreases with increasing adhesive strains. The non-linear numerical model provides reasonable predictions but is sensitive to adhesive shear modulus history.
