Abstract: This paper theoretically analyzes the symmetrical global buckling behavior of imperfect prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate-reinforced steel columns (PCRSCs) with two hinged supports under axial and ...

Abstract: Bolted connections are often used in pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) structures. Blind bolts, which require installation from one side only, become convenient when access is limited to tighten the ordinary ...

Abstract: Current design manuals for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structures only allow limited application of FRP in high-temperature environments. However, the residual mechanical properties of FRP composites at high service ...

Abstract: A load-strain model for a steel-concrete-FRP-concrete (SCFC) hybrid column section in compression is proposed. The section layout has a square steel tube as the outer layer and a circular fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites have been increasingly used in the construction of civil structures because of their light weight and high strength, tailored flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Such ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative large-span roof system, namely the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) woven web structure (WWS). A FRP WWS is composed of light-weight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant FRP strips that ...

Abstract: This paper reports on axial compression experiments on 18 specimens that were strengthened using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) fabric and bamboo sticks to improve buckling resistance. The core steel members were first ...

Abstract: A load-strain model for a steel-concrete-FRP-concrete (SCFC) hybrid column section in compression is proposed. The section layout has a square steel tube as the outer layer and a circular fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ...
