Abstract: An experimental program has been carried out to investigate the structural behavior of adhesively bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich girders. The girders, conceivable for main spans up to 20 m, are ...

Abstract: The concept, design, and experimental validation of the new Avançon Bridge in Bex, Switzerland, are described. The lightweight glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich bridge deck adhesively bonded to steel girders, ...

Abstract: After 17 and 15 years of use, respectively, a detailed inspection of a pedestrian bridge and a 5-story building structure composed of partly adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles ...

Abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate to what extent the performance of a glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich slab-bridge with a uniform high-density balsa core could be improved in terms of structural efficiency ...

Abstract: After 17 and 15 years of use, respectively, a detailed inspection of a pedestrian bridge and a 5-story building structure composed of partly adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles was ...

Abstract: Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) cell-core sandwiches are composed of outer GFRP face sheets, a foam core, and a grid of GFRP webs integrated into the core to reinforce the shear load capacity. One of the critical ...

Abstract: A model for predicting the buckling and wrinkling behavior of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates and sandwich panels subjected to in-plane biaxial compression–tension loading is presented in this paper. In-plane ...
