A Study Of The Mechanical Behavior Of Composite Materials Exposed To Corrosive Environments
… to examine the degradation of commercially pultruded uni-directional e-glass composites. The case study specimens, including a variety of commercially pultruded polyester/e-glass and vinylester/e-glass composites were exposed to corrosive environments, namely: distilled water (h2o), bleach …

Creep and damage models for the service behaviour of structural members
… view. Moreover, two materials have been handled: pultruded composites and concrete. A new finite element model for thin-walled beams has been introduced. As a main assumption, cross-sections rigid are considered rigid in their plane; this hypothesis replaces that of the classical beam theory of …

Durability of Polymer Matrix Composites for Infrastructure: The Role of the Interphase
As fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites find greater use in markets such as civil infrastructure and ground transportation, the expectations placed on these materials are ever increasing. The overall cost and reliability have become the drivers of these high performance materials and have led …

Fatigue Life of Hybrid FRP Composite Beams
… work is on the performance of the 20.3 cm (8 in) pultruded, hybrid double web I-beam structural shape. Experimental four-point bend fatigue results indicate that overall stiffness reduction of the structure is controlled by the degradation of the tensile flange. The loss of stiffness in the …

Characterization and Modeling of a Fiber-Reinforced Polymeric Composite Structural Beam and Bridge Structure for Use in the Tom's Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project
… bridge structures, but the experience with composites in these applications is minimal. Recently, however, a number of groups in the United States have constructed short-span traffic bridges utilizing FRP members. These demonstration cases will facilitate the development of design guidelines …
