Influence of Bolt Threads on the Net Section Tensile Rupture Strength of Single-Bolt Connections in Pultruded Structures

Abstract

In this article, we examine the influence of bolt threads on the tensile rupture strength of the net section corresponding to single-bolt double-lap connections in pultruded materials made of dicyclopentadiene-based unsaturated polyester resin reinforced with E-glass fibers in the forms of roving, continuous-strand mats and triaxial fabrics that incorporate chopped strand mats and plies oriented in the
