The concept, design, and experimental validation of the new Avancon Bridge in Bex, Switzerland, are described. The lightweight glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich bridge deck adhesively bonded to steel girders, reduced the traffic disruption per ...
Adhesively bonded joints are being used increasingly in civil engineering structures, especially for joints comprising pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates. The layered material architecture, however, leads to a complex delamination fa ...
Being good structural replacement for other conventional material, the pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are being increasingly used in civil engineering structures. The connection between components is considered the most suspect ar ...
Adhesively-bonded joints, including double- and stepped- lap joints (DLJs and SLJs), were experimentally investigated under cyclic tensile loading. The joints were composed of pultruded GFRP laminates and epoxy adhesive. A critical stiffness was found for ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer several advantages in relation to traditional materials, such as high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity and rapid component installation. Despite the great potential of th ...
Thin-ply composites are rapidly gaining interest in the composite industry, not only because of the larger design possibilities that they offer, but also because of positive size effects that have been shown to improve performance in various loading condit ...
Water diffusion into composite adhesive joints was experimentally studied by means of gravimetric measurements in bond specimens. The main parameters controlling the diffusion in the bond components were obtained from water uptake experiments carried out i ...
Nanofibers used in current ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are usually wavy and of finite length. Here, a shear-lag model for predicting the tensile strength and work of fracture of a composite containing a "single matrix crack", as a function of all the ...
This work addresses the development of composite materials that contain metallic load-bearing cords with the aim of combining outstanding mechanical performance with added functionality, including electrical conductivity, data transmission, and temperature ...
This paper presents results from studies on the fatigue behavior of pultruded GFRP laminates, adhesively bonded double lap joints composed of laminates, and full-scale adhesively bonded FRP bridge deck and steel girder connections. The studies show that th ...
