Large Scale Structural Applications
With the success of applications in aerospace, marine, electrical, automotive transportation industries, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have also found their places in civil engineering. The use of glass fibers (therefore GFRP) further reduces material costs and incorporates beneficial environmental aspects such as low energy consumption and low carbon dioxide emissions. Pultrusion is an automated and economical manufacturing method for continuous production of constant cross-section structural profiles with consistent material properties. However, in comparison to steel, pultruded GFRP composites are highly orthotropic materials and associated with lower elastic modulus and shear strength and lack of ductility at material level. In the previous chapters, a range of design concepts and structural solutions have been developed with experimental demonstrations for structural members and connections using pultruded GFRP composites, in consideration of their distinct material features. Experimental and modelling investigations have shown results of their mechanical performance of the developed structural members and connections in terms of stiffness, strength or even ductility. In the last chapter of this work, large scale structural applications are introduced with the use of developed structural members and connections. Further highlights of such structural applications are their ways of construction where design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) is practiced.
