Axial tension-tension fatigue experiments were performed on pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates in a laboratory environment. Different full-scale specimen shapes were examined: plate strips as-delivered, plate strips with tabs and plates ...
A method to predict the strength of adhesively bonded single and double lap joints from pultruded GFRP composite adherends subjected to quasi-static axial tensile loading is presented. The method is based on a quadratic through- thickness shear-tensile int ...
Quasi-static axial tension experiments were performed in a laboratory environment on epoxy bonded, balanced double-lap and single-lap joints from pultruded GFRP flat sections. Full-scale specimens were used to avoid size effects. Parameters investigated we ...
Methods and app. to study biol. mols. or biol. components at or in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces such as gold in aq. environments using attenuated total internal reflection Fourier transform infra-red (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy are descri ...

This paper reports on a structural concept for engineering structures composed of FRP components to provide system ductility that compensates for the lack of material ductility inherent to FRP materials. The concept includes the use of redundant structural ...
The bi-directional plate bending behavior of a pultruded GFRP bridge deck system with orthotropic material and system properties was investigated by means of two full- scale experiments and numerical modeling. Furthermore, the maximum span of the deck betw ...
Fatigue experiments on adhesively connected pultruded profiles were performed in a laboratory environment. The first objective was to determine if fatigue limits exist and if so, how their magnitude is compared to real shear stress amplitudes in GFRP bridg ...
Bridge decks made from fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly used in rehabilitation and new construction of pedestrian and highway bridges. For each application, connections are inevitable due to limitations on shape size and the ...
An experimental program has been carried out to investigate the structural behavior of adhesively bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich girders. The girders, conceivable for main spans up to 20 m, are composed of translucent double sandwich ...
Method and apparatus to study biological molecules or biological components at or in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces (2) such as gold in aqueous environments (6) using attenuated total internal reflection Fourier transform infra-red (ATR ...
