Abstract (EN): To guarantee the overall safety of a strengthened structure by bonding technique with epoxy resins it is important to control the hygrothermal gradients in the period of service life because they can interfere on the behaviour of the bonding agent. The objective of the study is to evaluate the glass transition temperature of commercial resins in different environments in order to be able to compare it with the ambient temperatures registered on the surface of the civil engineering infrastructures in Portugal.
