Bracing of large GFRP frames with very slender GFRP panels [PDF]
<p>Glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) were developed in the first half of the 20th century. They have high strength (especially for tensile stresses), low density, high resistance in corrosive environments, and free formability. Despite these advantages, GFRP materials are not widely used in construction yet.

Seismic performance of ductile corrosion-free reinforced concrete frames
Corrosion of steel bars is the main cause of the deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. To avoid this problem, steel rebars can be replaced with glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP).

Hybrid Steel/NSM/GFRP System Versus GFRP Wrapping for Upgrading RC Wall-like Columns
Reinforced concrete (RC) wall-like columns are commonly employed in structures in Saudi Arabia. These columns are preferred by architects owing to their minimum projection in the usable space. However, they often need strengthening due to several reasons, such as the addition of more stories and increasing the live load as a result of changing the ...

Structural Behavior of GFRP - RC Slender Columns Under Various Eccentricity Loading Conditions
Glass fibers reinforced polymer (GFRP) were used to longitudinally and transversally 12 columns and while the other 4 columns were reinforced with steel or steel and GFRP as reference specimens. This research dealt with several parameters under different

Joint strength of GFRP / A6061 Al alloy joint made by punching rivet method
To reduce weigh of the transportation machines, joining of the FRP and the light metal is considered as important technique. In this study, the punching rivet method was applied to make joints between a GFRP sheet and an aluminum alloy A6061 sheet and ...

Improving Fatigue Performance of GFRP Composite Using Carbon Nanotubes
Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) have become a preferable material for reinforcing or strengthening reinforced concrete structures due to their corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratio, and relatively low cost compared with carbon fiber ...

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

Static Mechanical Properties of GFRP Laminates with Waste GFRP Interleaf
AbstractA recycle method of GFRP is investigated in this study. Waste GFRP was divided into short glass fibers and resin fragments by milling. However the tensile strength of composites with the chips of waste GFRP is low, the composites are expected that fiber bridging and higher compressive strength than resin.
