Currently, the application of pultruded profiles is increasing owing to their advantages, such
as light weight, high strength, improved durability, corrosion resistance, ease of …

Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite decks have been increasingly used in highway
bridge applications, both in new construction and rehabilitation and replacement of existing …

The objective of this study was to evaluate three potential core alternatives for glass fiber
reinforced polymer (GFRP) foam-core sandwich panels. The proposed system could reduce …

This paper presents a summary of a study that focuses on assessing flexural behavior of
pultruded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite profiles commonly used in …

Pultruded fiber–reinforced plastic (FRP) composite structural shapes (beams and columns)
are thin-walled open or closed sections consisting of assemblies of flat plates and commonly …

An analytical study of local buckling of discrete laminated plates or panels of fiber-reinforced
plastic (FRP) structural shapes is presented. Flanges of pultruded FRP shapes are modeled …

This paper provides the experimental results of a new hybrid beam intended for use in
bridge applications. The hybrid beams were made up of pultruded Glass Fibre Reinforced …

Although fibre reinforced polymers exhibit several advantages over traditional materials,
their widespread acceptance is being delayed by the lack of appropriate design codes. In …

This paper presents a flexural analysis of I-shaped laminated composite beams. A general
analytical model applicable to thin-walled I-section composite beams subjected to vertical …

This paper presents experimental and numerical results of the first phase of a multi-phase
comprehensive joint research program between University of Salerno, Italy, and the …
