Abstract: The in‐plane shear modulus and the in‐plane shear strength of pultruded glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) materials were measured using the Iosipescu shear test method. Material specimens, in coupon form, were cut from ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of and observations on progressive failure and ductility of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites of interest to civil and infrastructure construction applications. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a quantitative economic analysis and a qualitative constructability analysis of three-dimensional fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcement cages for concrete beams. Material, labor, and life-cycle ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure for analyzing a common and catastrophic failure mode in pultruded composite material I-beams is presented in this paper. Pultruded wide-flange profiles (often referred to as I-beams) exhibit a number ...

Abstract: Results of an experimental and analytical investigation of the behavior of a pultruded fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRF) portal frame subjected to short‐term static loads are presented. A 6 ft high by 9 ft wide

Abstract: As buildings have become larger and house more people, political and societal issues have become more complex, and risks associated with occupying buildings have changed. In particular, since the terrorist attacks of 2001, ...
