I guess you mean adhesive, not solvent.IMO, no adhesive will outlive bolts.2

I doubt any adhesive will help here. Can you give us a better idea of what you're trying to do?
Are the concrete posts vertical, like fence posts? Will the wooden posts also be vertical? Will they be sitting on top of the concrete or attached to the sides?
A photo or diagram could really help you to get the best advice, I think.2 -

CT1 sold in a tube and applied with a silicon gun is very good for a multitude of products. i used it for glass to metal but it's excellent for wood to concrete also.
sold in Screwfix among other places.

As @tonygold suggested... CT1 . Power grab is pretty good.

Waste of time/effort/money to glue as well as bolt it.

Use bolts as per link below (they have different sizes) and don't bother with the glue.
Won't the fence panels just slot into the existing concrete posts?Sorry I can't think of anything profound, clever or witty to write here.0 -
I think he's putting higher fence panels in, so the concrete won't be tall enough.1
