The lack of long-term performance and durability data of composite piles is an important concern that must be addressed to permit confidence in use of these piles for long-term load-bearing applications. Consequently, a durability study was undertaken to assess the rate degradation of mechanical properties (strength and stiffness) of commercially available glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) ...

Abstract The aim of this article is to investigate the failure and enhancement mechanism bolt-strengthening glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) T-joints under quasi-static tension. One-step molding technology based on vacuum-assisted resin infusion process carried out fabricate GFRP structures. Then, a special fixture constraint condition are set up take tensile test with high reliability. Mo...

Several types of fibers have enhanced the structural response reinforced concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs). This article presents a state-of-the-art review studies done on axial compressive behavior and glass fiber-reinforced CFSTs. The aim using is to improve research indicates findings experimental programs analytical evaluations effects fiber incorporation results this work demonstrate tha...

This work investigates the tensile testing of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite material and its most influencing parameter. The GFRP constitutes bi-axial glass-fibre epoxy-matrix. three parameters considered for test are load, elongation, thickness, experiment's factorial design is L9 orthogonal array. percentage contribution extension, thickness stress strain calculated using va...

With the gradual application of composite materials to ships and offshore structures, structural strength composites that can replace steel should be explored. In this study, mechanical bearing failure modes a composite-to-metal joining structure connected by mechanically fastened joints were experimentally analyzed. The effects fiber tensile stress concentration on static structures investigat...

The high performance of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) leads this composite to become one the favourite research topics in engineering. GFRP is widely used building structure and other engineering application. In design structures, damage-tolerant consideration essential, especially under environmental factor dynamic effect. Hence, damage stability loadings should be investigated. study,...
