This paper presents cyclic behaviour of bolted and hybrid–combined bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) beam-to-column joints between I-shaped members using steel FRP cleats. Five full-scale tests are carried out to study moment-rotation behaviour, response, failure patterns. The test parameters include position cleat (flange or combined web flange), fastening method (bolting hybrid–combining ...

This paper presents a comparative study on single-bolted double-lap joints with steel bolts and glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bolt. Three types of including plain, galvanised stainless newly developed GFRP bolt were considered. Two preload levels practiced in the experiments, i.e. snug-tight full-tensioning. The torque-preload relationships for different investigated reference to intern...
