Evaluation of GFRP framing connections

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The objective of this thesis is to verify the assumption of designing the connection as simply supported in a GFRP bonded-bolted framing angle configuration. To achieve this, nine framing angle connection tests were performed. The assumption was found to be valid for the 2 bolt bonded, the 2 bolt unbonded, and the 3 bolt unbonded framing angle connections tested, however, more tests are needed varying different parameters before final conclusions can be reached. Suggestions are made for different areas of possible research into GFRP.
