Experimental and numerical investigation of pultruded GFRP circular hollow tubular columns under concentric and eccentric loading

Thumitha Mandula Higgoda et al.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental investigation of pultruded GFRP CHS columns under concentric and eccentric compression. Different slenderness values and eccentricities were considered. Longitudinal splitting and localized delamination buckling were observed as the main failure modes. The load-carrying capacities of the concentric column under different slenderness values were compared with design rules. Under eccentric loading, the ultimate loads decrease with increasing eccentricity and slenderness, while the load-strain behavior shows non-linear characteristics due to geometric non-linearity. The FE models predicted the failure modes well, with material splitting due to hoop matrix tensile rupture.

Influence of geometry on failure modes of PFRP single bolted connections

Sivaganesh Selvaraj et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the ultimate strength, stiffness, and failure modes of pultruded fibre-reinforced polymer (PFRP) single bolted connections subjected to tension. An experimental programme of 72 PFRP connections was conducted, revealing 10 different failure modes and proposing a new geometric ratio for connection characterization. The study evaluates the current design standards for minimum geometry limitations.

Non-uniform fiber-resin distributions of pultruded GFRP profiles

Peng Feng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the non-uniform fiber-resin distribution in pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles and analyzes its impact on the mechanical properties of the profiles. The results show that the degree of non-uniformity varies for different types of profiles, with I-sections exhibiting the most significant material non-uniformity. Additionally, the non-uniform fiber-resin distribution increases the initial section eccentricity, thus reducing the critical buckling loads of GFRP compressive members.

Underwater strengthening and repairing of tubular offshore structural members using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers with different consolidation methods

Jerin Mathew George et al.

Summary: This paper investigates strengthening and repairing of offshore steel tubular members using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) with the help of experimental testing and an analytical study. Full length strengthening for underwater leg specimens were experimentally tested and it was found to improve the structural behaviour in many aspects. Underwater vacuum consolidation proved to be advantageous compared to the normal underwater stricture consolidation.

Load bearing capacity of GFRP-strengthened tubular T-joints: Experimental and numerical study

Mohammad Lesani et al.

Summary: Strengthening tubular joints with GFRP can significantly increase their load-bearing capacity and stiffness. The potential debonding areas are at the intersection of the saddle and crown lines. The effectiveness of GFRP reinforcement is reduced by higher joint diameter ratios and chord thinness ratios, but the joint thickness ratio has little effect on the reinforcement.

Flexural response of underwater offshore structural members retrofitted with CFRP wraps and their performance after exposure to real marine conditions

Jerin M. George et al.

Summary: This paper investigated the strengthening and repairing of offshore steel tubular members using CFRPs. The study found that CFRP was effective in repairing corroded steel tubular members and improving the performance of the members. Furthermore, the durability of CFRP retrofitted tubular members was found to be satisfactory even under underwater conditions.

Flexural behaviour of pultruded circular tubular GFRP composite truss bridges with novel non-corrosive connections

Thumitha Mandula Higgoda et al.

Summary: This study proposes multiplanar truss bridges made of glass-fibre reinforced polymer circular tubular profiles with innovative non-metallic connections. Through testing and calculation analysis, the performance and load capacity of these bridges were evaluated. The results show that the use of GFRP rods and GFRP wrapping in the connections can improve the ultimate strength and ductility of the bridges.

Investigation on the structural failure behaviour of pultruded circular tubular GFRP multiplanar truss bridges with non-metallic connections through finite element modelling

Thumitha Mandula Higgoda et al.

Summary: Finite element method was used to study the failure of member connections in GFRP multiplanar truss bridges. The adhesive failure of the brace was found to occur progressively around its perimeter, with GFRP laminate failure observed after adhesive bond failure. The failure sequence of the GFRP laminate and adhesive bonding was dependent on the brace wall thickness. The predicted fiber tensile rupture of the GFRP laminate was greater for cement mortar grouted GFRP rods than non-GFRP grouted rods.

Experimental investigation on the moment-rotation performance of pultruded FRP web-flange junctions

Gisele G. Cintra et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the rotational stiffness behavior of WFJs in FRP, monitoring relative rotations between the web and flange using DIC technique. Lower bound functions were proposed to simulate junction stiffness retention, and two equations were developed to predict rotational stiffness per unit of width for pultruded joints. The theoretical and experimental results agreed fairly well, with maximum differences of 24% for I-sections and 38% for channels.
